Find the ratio of 30 centimeters to 5 meters?

Answer 1

Find the ratio of 30 centimeters to 5 meters

1 meter is 100 centimeters. We have 5 meters, so...

5 x 100 = 500 centimeters

Now our ratio is 30 to 500.

Divide both by 10.

30/10=3

500/10=50

So, the new ratio is 3 to 50 in centimeters.

However, if we want to find the 50 in meters, 50 centimeters is half of a meter since 50 is half of 100, so the ratio could also be 3 to 1/2.

Hope this helps!
