Question
Write the following ratios in the simplest form:
1L 35mL : 270mL
1L 35mL : 270mL
✓
Answer
The given ratio = 1L 35mL : 270mL = (1 × 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$\therefore\frac{1035}{270}=\frac{1035\div45}{270\div45}=\frac{23}{6}$
$\therefore\text{Required ratio}=23:6$
Now, HCF and 1035 and 270 = 45$\therefore\frac{1035}{270}=\frac{1035\div45}{270\div45}=\frac{23}{6}$
$\therefore\text{Required ratio}=23:6$
