Question 19

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

3 : 33 = 33 : 333

Answer 1

Given, 3 : 33 = 33 : 333
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{33}=\frac{33}{333}$
Simplest form of $\frac{3}{33}=\frac{1}{11}$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 3]
Simplest form of $\frac{33}{333}=\frac{11}{111}$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 3]

Simplest form of both the ratios are not equal as $\frac{1}{11}\ne \frac{11}{111}$.
Hence, the given statement is false.
