Question

Write the ratio in the simplest form.

$2Daysto20Hours$

Answer 1

To take the ratio, units of the quantity should be same, both the units should either be in days or hours.

Change Days into hours.

$1Day=24Hours$

So,

$$\begin{gathered} 2days=2\times 24 \\ =48hours \end{gathered}$$

Now the ratio $2Daysto20Hours$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{48}{20} \\ =\frac{12}{5} \\ =12:5 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the ratio is $12:5$.
