Question

Express the following ratios in simplest form $75$ paise $3$ rupees.

Answer 1

Step 1: Express in ratio form

If $1$ rupee $=100$ paise

Then, $3$ rupees $=300$ paise

Then, $75$ paise $3$ rupees can be written as

$=75:300$

Step 2: Simplify the ratio

The HCF of $75$ and $300$ is $75$

On dividing numerator and denominator by $75$

$\therefore \frac{75}{300}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{75}{75}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{300}{75}}}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1}{4}=1:4$

Therefore, the simplest form of $75$ paise $:3$ rupees is $1$ paise $:4$ paise .
