Question

Find the ratio of $850$ mL to $1$ L and express it in its lowest form:

Answer 1

Given, $850mLto1L$
Step 1: Find the ratio:

Since the given quantities are in different units, first we convert liters into milliliters.

$1liter=1000milliliters$

So, the required ratio is $850mL:1000mL$

Step 2: Express the ratio in the lowest form:

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 850:1000 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{850}{1000}=\frac{85}{100}=\frac{17}{20} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $17:20$ is the lowest form.
