Question

Find the ratio in the simplest form:

$80p$ to $Rs2$

Answer 1

Given $80p$to $Rs2$

Convert $Rs2$ to paisa

Since $Rs2=2\times 100=200p$ $[\because Rs1=100p]$

$80p$ to $Rs2$$=\frac{80}{200}$

$=\frac{{\displaystyle \stackrel{2}{\cancel{80}}}}{{\displaystyle \underset{5}{\cancel{200}}}}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

$\therefore$$80p$to $Rs2$$=2:5$

Hence the ratio in the simplest form $80p$to $Rs2$ is $2:5$
