I like that question
To express the given ratio as a fraction in its lowest terms, we first need to convert the quantities to the same unit.
Given:
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
So, to convert 3 meters (m) to centimeters (cm), we multiply it by 100:
3 m * 100 cm/m = 300 cm
Now we have the ratio of 25 cm to 300 cm.
To express this ratio as a fraction, we write the first quantity (25 cm) as the numerator and the second quantity (300 cm) as the denominator:
25 cm / 300 cm
To find the lowest terms, we need to simplify this fraction. We can do this by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) and dividing both the numerator and denominator by it.
The GCD of 25 and 300 is 25, so we divide both numbers by 25:
25 cm / 300 cm = 1 cm / 12 cm
So, the ratio 25 cm to 3 m, expressed as a fraction in its lowest terms, is 1 cm to 12 cm.
Express the following as a ratio in its simplest term.
