Question

Express 3cm: 3m in the ratio of its simplest form​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 : 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantities must be in the same units , that is

3 m = 3 × 100 cm = 300 cm , then

3 cm : 100 cm ( divide both parts by 3 )

= 1 : 100

Answer 2

Answer:

1cm:100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to convert the ratio into the same unit (I chose cm). If there are 100cm in a metre, there will be 300cm in 3m.

That leaves you with the ratio 3cm:300cm. To simplify, divide both sides by three leaving you with 1cm:100cm
