Answer 2

`20:1`.

Explanation:

We have been given a ratio between two quantities as 5.6 m to 28 cm. We are asked to express the given ratio in simplest form.

We know that 1 meter equals 100 centimeters. Now, we will convert 5.6 meters to centimeters by multiplying 5.6 by 100.

`\text{5.6 m}=5.6* 100\text{ cm}=560\text{ cm}`

We can represent our given ratio as a fraction as shown below:

`\frac{560\text{ cm}}{28\text{ cm}}`

Upon simplifying our fraction, we will get:

`\frac{28* 20\text{ cm}}{28* 1\text{ cm}}`

`(20)/(1)`

Upon representing our fraction as a ratio, we will get:

`20:1`

Therefore, the simplest form of our given ratio would be
`20:1`.
