Question

The length of a table is 2 m and its breadth is 50 cm. Find the ratio of the length of the table to its breadth.

• A. 4:1
• B. 200:50
• C. 1:4
• D. 50:200

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

4:1

B

200:50

We know, to compare two quantities, the units must be the same.
So, here we either convert meter to a centimeter or vice-versa.
Given,
Length of the table = 2 m = 200 cm
Breadth = 50 cm
Hence, the required ratio
$=200:50=\frac{200}{50}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1$
