Question

Find the ratio of 25 paise to Rs.60?

Answer 1

Hint: To calculate the ratio of the given quantities, first you have to convert the given quantities in the same unit i.e. either convert both the quantities in paise or in rupees. After this divide and convert the fraction into its simplest form to get the required ratio.

Complete step-by-step answer:

In the question it is given two quantities one in paise and another in rupees and we have to find the ratio of these two quantities.

So, first of all we will convert the given two quantities in paise.
Conversion of unit (Rupees to paise) is given below:

We know that,
1 rupee = 100 paise.

So,
60 rupees = 60 $\times$ 100 paise
                   = 6000 paise

Now, on taking the ratio and further simplifying the quantities, we get:
25 paise: Rs.60 = 25:6000
                             = ${\displaystyle \frac{25}{6000}}$
                             = ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{240}}$
                             = 1:240

Therefore, we can write:
Ratio of 25 paise to Rs.60 = 1:240

Note: In this type of question, you should know how to find the ratio of two quantities if they are in the same unit. We can also solve this question with another method. First convert the given quantity in paise to rupees by dividing the 25 paise by 100 and then find the ratio of the two quantities.
