Question

The ratio 2.5 metres to 60 centimetres can be written in the form 1:n find the valur of n

Answer 1

The value of n is
`(6)/(25)`

Explanation:

we know that

1 m=100 cm

step 1

Convert 2.5 m to cm

2.5 m=2.5*100=250 cm

step 2

Find the ratio

`(250)/(60)=(25)/(6)`

Divide by 25 both numerator and denominator

`(1)/((6)/(25))`

therefore

The value of n is
`(6)/(25)`
