Question

Find the ratio of each of the following in simplest form:

$60paise$ to $4rupees$

Answer 1

Given ratio is $60paise$ to $4rupees$

Convert the given ratio in same unit.

We know that,

$1rupee=100paise$

Therefore, $4rupees=4\times 100paise=400paise$

$60paise$ to $4rupees$ $=$ $60paise$ to $400paise$

Also, $60paise:400paise=\frac{60paise}{400paise}=\frac{60}{400}$

Now simplest form of $\frac{60}{400}$ can be obtained by dividing both term by their HCF $20$

$\frac{60}{400}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{60}{20}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{400}{20}}}=\frac{3}{20}$

Hence, simplest form of $60paise$ to $4rupees$ is $3:20$
