Question

Snehal has a red ribbon that is 80 cm long and a blue ribbon 2.20 m long. What is the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon?

Answer 1

1 metre =100 cm 

Length of the red ribbon = 80 cm 

Length of the blue ribbon = 2.20 m = 2.20 x 100 cm

= 220 cm 

∴ Ratio of length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon

∴ The ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon is \(\cfrac{4}{11}\).
