Question
Write the following ratios in the simplest form: $1L 35\ mL : 270\ mL$
✓
Answer
The given ratio
$= 1L 35mL : 270mL = (1 \times 1000 + 35)mL : 270mL = 1035mL : 270mL = 1035 : 270$
$=\frac{1035}{270}$ To express it in simplest form, we divide its numerator and denominator by the
$HCF$ of $1035$ and $270.$
Now, $HCF$ and $1035$ and $270 = 45$
$\therefore\frac{1035}{270}=\frac{1035\div45}{270\div45}=\frac{23}{6}$
$\therefore\text{Required ratio}=23:6$
