Question

Find the ratio of:
(i) ₹ 5 to 50 paise
(ii) 15 kg to 210 g

Answer 1

(i) We know that,
₹ 1 = 100 paise
Then,
₹ 5 = 5 $\times$ 100 = 500 paise
Now we have to find the ratio,
$=\frac{500}{50}$
$=\frac{10}{1}$
So, the required ratio is 10 : 1.
(ii) We know that,
1 kg = 1000 g
Then,
15 kg = 15 $\times$ 1000 = 15000 g
Now we have to find the ratio,
$=\frac{15000}{210}$
$=\frac{1500}{21}$
$=\frac{500}{7}$… [$\because$ divide both by 3]
So, the required ratio is 500 : 7.
