Question 18

State whether the given statement is true (T) or false (F).

$0.2:5=2:0.5$

Answer 1

Given, 0.2 : 5 = 2 : 0.5
$\frac{0.2}{5}=\frac{2}{50}onmultiplyingnumeratoranddenominantorby10\frac{2}{0.5}=\frac{20}{5}onmultiplyingnumeratoranddenominantorby10$
$\frac{0.2}{5}\ne \frac{2}{0.5}\Rightarrow \frac{2}{50}\ne \frac{20}{5}$

The given ratios are not equal.

Hence, the given statement is false
