Question

50 p : rupee 2Simplify the following ratios

Answer 1

Since 1 rupee = 50 paise, then

2 rupee = 2 x 50 = 100 paise

Now, we can find the ratio between 50 p: 100 p

$50\colon100$

Divide both terms by 10

$\frac{50}{10}\colon\frac{100}{10}=5\colon10$

Divide both terms by 5

$\frac{5}{5}\colon\frac{10}{5}=1\colon2$

The ratio between 50 p: 2 rupee = 1: 2
