Question

Express the given ratios in their simplest forms:
$175$ paisa: $5$ rupees $25$ paise

Answer 1

175 paisa : 5 rupees 25 paisa

1 rupees $=$ 100 paisa

5 rupees $=$ 500 paisa

5 rupees 25 paisa $=$ 500 paisa $+$ 25 paisa

$=$ 525 paisa

175 paisa : 525 paisa

$\frac{175}{525}=\frac{7}{21}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore$ 175 paisa : 5 rupees 25 paisa $=$ 1:3
