Express the ratio as a fraction in its lowest terms .25cm to 3m
To express the ratio .25cm to 3m as a fraction in its lowest terms, we need to convert both measurements to the same units.
Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, 3 meters is equal to 3 x 100 = 300 centimeters.
Thus, the ratio can be written as 0.25 cm : 300 cm.
To express this as a fraction, we can simplify it by dividing both numerator and denominator by 25, since the greatest common divisor between the two is 25.
0.25 ÷ 25 = 0.01
300 ÷ 25 = 12
Thus, the simplified ratio is 0.01 cm : 12 cm.
In fraction form, this can be written as 0.01 cm ÷ 12 cm = 1/120.
So, the ratio .25cm to 3m expressed as a fraction in its lowest terms is 1/120.
To express the ratio .25cm to 3m as a fraction in its lowest terms, we need to convert both measurements to the same unit. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can convert 3m to centimeters as follows:
3m * 100cm/1m = 300cm
Now we have the ratio of .25cm to 300cm.
To express this as a fraction, we write:
.25cm/300cm
To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25.
.25cm/300cm = 0.01/12
Therefore, the ratio .25cm to 3m expressed as a fraction in its lowest terms is 0.01/12.
