The speed of a Garden-Snail is 50 meters per hour and that of the Cheetah is 120 kilometers per hour. Find the ratio of the speeds.

Open in App

Solution

Speed fo a Garden-Snails $= 50 m / h = \frac{50}{1000} k m / h = 0.05 k m / h$
Speed of the Cheetah = 120 km/h.
$Ratio = \frac{Speed of a Garden-Snail}{Speed of the Cheetah}$
$= \frac{0.05}{120}$
$= \frac{5}{12000}$
$= \frac{1}{2400}$
