Question

Express the given ratios in their simplest forms: $2$ hours $30$ minutes$:60$ minutes.

Answer 1

Express in the simplest form:

We know that,

. $1$ hour $=60$ minutes

$\therefore 2$ hour $=2\times 60=120$ minutes

The given ratio is,

$2$ hours $30$ minutes$:60$ minutes $=(120+30)$ minutes $:60$ minutes

$=150:60$

$=5:2$

Hence, the ratio in its simplest form is $5:2$.
