Question

Find the ratio of the following:

$4$ litres to $250$ mL

Answer 1

First, we have to Write the given ratio in the form of a fraction.

$4$ liters to $250$ mL = $\frac{4litres}{250mL}$

Which is equal to $\frac{4litres}{250mL}=\frac{4\times 1000mL}{250mL}=\frac{4000}{250}$ [ $1litres=1000mL$ ]

Then by Dividing antecedent and consequent by their HCF $250$

$\frac{4000÷250}{250÷250}=\frac{16}{1}or16:1$

So the simplest form is $16:1$
