Question

Find the ratio of the first quantity with the second in its simplest form.

3 min. 54 sec to 2 min. 6 sec ratio is 13:7, If true then enter $1$ and if false then enter $0$

Answer 1

Ratio of two quantities can be calculated only when they are of same units.

So, converting $3minutes54seconds$ into seconds, we get $3\times 60+54=234seconds$

And, converting $2minutes6seconds$ into seconds, we get $2\times 60+6=126seconds$

Ratio of given quantities $=234:126$

Simplifying it by dividing by $6$, we get the ratio $=39:21$

Further simplifying it by dividing by $3$, we get the ratio $=13:7$
