Express each ratio as a fraction in its lowest terms.2mm:100cm
2mm:100cm = 2mm:1000mm = 2:1000 = 1:500
2mm to 100cm.
2mm:100cm
2mm:1000mm
2:1000
1:500
To express the ratio 2mm:100cm as a fraction in its lowest terms, we need to convert the units to the same measurement.
1 cm is equal to 10 mm, so we can convert 100 cm to mm as follows:
100 cm = 100 cm * 10 mm/cm = 1000 mm
Now we have the ratio 2mm : 1000mm.
To express this ratio as a fraction, we write the number of mm for each term:
2mm : 1000mm
Now we can simplify this fraction by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 2 and 1000 is 2.
Dividing both terms by 2, we get:
2mm / 2 : 1000mm / 2
1mm : 500mm
Therefore, the ratio 2mm:100cm expressed as a fraction in its lowest terms is 1mm:500mm.
