Question

2.5m to 150 cm
express these ratios in its simplest form.​

Answer 1

The ratios in the simplest form is 5:3

Explanation:

Given that:

2.5m to 150cm

We have to express these ratios in simplest form but we will convert the quantities into same unit first.

Therefore,

Converting meters into centimeters

1 meter = 100 cm

2.5 m = 100*2.5 = 250 cm

Ratio form;

250 cm : 150 cm

As both the number are multiples of 50,

`(250)/(50):(150)/(50)\\5:3`

Hence,

The ratios in the simplest form is 5:3
