Question

Find the ratio of: $9\mathrm{m}$ to $27\mathrm{cm}$

Answer 1

Finding the required ratio.

Converting the $\mathrm{m}$ to $\mathrm{cm}$
We have $9\mathrm{m}=9\times 100\mathrm{cm}\mathbf{[}\mathbf{\because }\mathbf{1}\mathbf{}\mathbf{m}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{}\mathbf{100}\mathbf{}\mathbf{cm}\mathbf{]}$
$=900\mathrm{cm}$
Ratio of $9\mathrm{m}$ to $27\mathrm{cm}$ $=\frac{900}{27}$
$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{100}{3} \\ =100:3 \end{gathered}$$
Hence, the required ratio is $100:3$
