Question

Which ratio correctly compares 15 m to 45 cm?

a. 10 : 3
b. 100 : 3
c. 1 : 3
d. 1 : 300

Answer 1

The correct ratio is
C. 1:3
This can be explained by the fact that when you devide 15 and 45 by 15 you get 1 and 3

15/15 = 1

45\15 = 3

Answer 2

100 : 3 is correct because 1500 : 45 simplifies to that ratio. (15 meters is 1500 centimeters)
