Solution

Step-1: Given Information
Meena's height $=$ $100 c m$
Leena's height $=$ $1 m 20 c m$
Step-2: Convert Leena's height $1 m 20 c m$ into $c m$
$1 m 20 c m$ $=$ $1 \times 100 + 20 =$ $100 + 20 =$ $120 c m$ ( As $1 m = 100 c m$ )
Step-3: Find $L e e n a' s h e i g h t : M e e n a' s h e i g h t$
$L e e n a' s h e i g h t : M e e n a' s h e i g h t$ $=$ $120 : 100$
Step-3: Simplify the ratio $120 : 100$
$120 : 100$ $=$ $\frac{120 \div 20}{100 \div 20}$ ( To simplify $120 : 100$ divide it by HCF of $120$ and $100$ The HCF of $120$ and $100$ is $20$ )
$120 : 100$ $=$ $\frac{6}{5}$ $=$ $6 : 5$
Hence, the ratio $L e e n a' s h e i g h t : M e e n a' s h e i g h t$ is $6 : 5$
