Question

Find the ratio of $500$ml to $2$ liter.

Answer 1

Finding the ratio:

First, we will make the units same. We know that $1$litre=$1000$ ml

So, $2$ litre $=2\times 1000=2000$ml

Ratio$=500:2000$ (but it is not in the simplest form now we convert it into the simplest form by dividing it by HCF)

HCF$(500,2000)=500$

So $\frac{500÷500}{2000÷500}=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, the ratio is $1:4$.
