Question

A room is 12 CM long and 8 m broad. find the ratio of i) length to breadth II) breadth to length​

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Length : breadth = 3 : 200

ii. Breadth : length = 200 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 12cm

Breadth = 8m to centimeters = 8 * 100 = 800 centimeters.

To find the following;

a. Length to breadth ratio.

Length : breadth = 12 : 800

We would divide both sides by 4

Length : breadth = 3 : 200

b. Breadth to length.

Breadth : length = 800 : 12

We would divide both sides by 4

Breadth : length = 200 : 3

Note: In order to find a ratio, we must ensure that the units of the given parameters (quantities) are the same.
