Question

Express the following ratio in the simplest form.
(a) $Rs.125$ to $Rs.35$
(b) $65$ books to $91$ books
(c) $45$ hours to $36$ hours

Answer 1

$\left(a\right)Rs.125$ to $35$

$=\frac{125}{35}=\frac{25}{7}$

$\therefore Rs125$ to $35=25:7$

$\left(b\right)65$ books to $91$ books

$\frac{65}{91}=\frac{5}{7}$

$\therefore 65$ books to $91$ books $=5:7$

$\left(c\right)45$ hours to $36$ hours

$\frac{45}{36}=\frac{5}{4}$

$\therefore 45$ hours to $36$ hours $=5:4$
