What is the ratio in simplest form
26cm/4m
one meter = 100 cm
26/400 = ?
26cm/4m = 0.26m/4m = 0.13/2 = 13/200.
To find the ratio in simplest form, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit.
Given:
26 cm/4 m
First, let's convert 4 meters to centimeters since we already have the numerator in centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
Therefore, we have:
4 m = 4 * 100 cm = 400 cm
Now, the ratio becomes:
26 cm / 400 cm
To simplify this ratio, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 26 and 400 is 2.
Dividing both values by 2, we get:
26 cm / 400 cm = 13 cm / 200 cm
Therefore, the ratio in simplest form is 13 cm/200 cm.
