Question

Find the reduced form of the ratio of the first quantity to second quantity.
$5$ litres, $2500$ ml.

• A. $1:2$
• B. $2:1$
• C. $1:3$
• D. $3:4$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2:1$

Reduced form of $5$ liters and $2500\text{ml}$

in ratio

$[1$ liter $=1000\text{ml},$ so $5$ liters$=5000\text{ml}]$

$=\frac{5\text{liters}}{2500\text{ml}}$

$=\frac{5000}{2500}$

$=\frac{2}{1}⟹2:1$
