| $(ii)$ | $\frac{180}{200}$ | $(b)$ | $\frac{2}{5}$ |
| $(iii)$ | $\frac{660}{990}$ | $(c)$ | $\frac{1}{2}$ |

Answer
Solution:
$i.\ \frac{250}{400}$
Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the $HCFs$ of $250\ \&\ 400,$ we get:
$=\frac{\frac{250}{50}}{\frac{400}{50}}$
$=\frac{5}{8}$
$ii.\ \frac{180}{200}$
Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the $HCFs$ of $180\ \&\ 200,$ we get:
$=\frac{\frac{180}{20}}{\frac{200}{20}}$
$=\frac{9}{10}$
$iii.\ \frac{660}{990}$
Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the $HCFs$ of $660\ \&\ 990,$ we get:
$=\frac{\frac{660}{30}}{\frac{990}{30}}$
$=\frac{\frac{22}{11}}{\frac{33}{11}}$
$=\frac{2}{3}$
$iv.\ \frac{180}{360}$
Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the $HCFs$ of $180\ \&\ 360,$ we get:
$=\frac{\frac{180}{180}}{\frac{360}{180}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}$
$v.\ \frac{220}{550}$
Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the $HCFs$ of $220\ \&\ 550,$ we get:
$=\frac{\frac{220}{11}}{\frac{550}{11}}$
$=\frac{20}{50}$
$=\frac{\frac{20}{10}}{\frac{50}{10}}$
$=\frac{2}{5}$
