Question

50 p : rupee 2Simplify the following ratios

Answer 1

Since 1 rupee = 50 paise, then

2 rupee = 2 x 50 = 100 paise

Now, we can find the ratio between 50 p: 100 p

`50\colon100`

Divide both terms by 10

`(50)/(10)\colon(100)/(10)=5\colon10`

Divide both terms by 5

`(5)/(5)\colon(10)/(5)=1\colon2`

The ratio between 50 p: 2 rupee = 1: 2
