Question

Write ratio in its simplest form 2m:8cm:40mm​

Answer 1

50 : 2 : 1

Explanation:

First express the ratios using the same units.

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

then converting to mm

2 m = 2 × 100 × 10 = 2000 mm

8 cm = 8 × 10 = 80 mm

2 m : 8 cm : 40 mm

= 2000 : 80 : 40 ( divide each part by 40 )

= 50 : 2 : 1
