This means the ration is
333:101010
So we need to find out what the ratio is for
? : 252525
To do this we do 252525/ 101010 which is 2.5
We now know that 101010 x 2.5= 252525 so to put this in ratio we must do
333:101010
multiplied by 2.5 to get
832.5 : 252525
So the number of centimetres is 832.5cm
