Question 23

State whether the given statements are true (T) or false (F).

20 g : 100 g = 1m : 500 cm

Answer 1

Given, $20g:100g=1m:500cm\Rightarrow \frac{20}{100}=\frac{100}{500}$ [$\because 1m=100cm$]
Simplest form of $\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 20]
Simplest form of $\frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 100]
Simplest form of both the ratios are equal as $\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$.

Hence, the given statement is true.
