Question

Express each of the given ratio in its simplest form:

$\left(vii\right)$ $3$ hours $:1$ day

Answer 1

Step: Express the ratio in simplest form:

Since $1$ day $=24$ hours,
Therefore,
$3$ hours $:1$ day $=\frac{3hrs}{24hrs}$

Above ratio or fraction can be converted to its simplest form by dividing numerator and denominator by their $HCF$ equal to $3$, we get,

$\frac{3}{24}=\frac{3÷3}{24÷3}=\frac{1}{8}$

Hence, the simplest form of the given ratio is $1:8$.
