Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of n is $\frac{6}{25}$

Step-by-step 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

$\frac{250}{60}=\frac{25}{6}$

Divide by 25 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{1}{\frac{6}{25}}$

therefore

The value of n is $\frac{6}{25}$
