Find the ratio of the following:
(a) speed of a cycle 15 km per hour to the speed of scooter 30 km per hour.
(b) 5 m to 10 km
(c) 50 paise to ₹ 5
Solution:
(a) Speed of cycle : Speed of Scooter = 15 km per hour : 30 km per hour

Hence, the ratio = 1 : 2
(b) 5 m to 10 km
= 5 m : 10 × 1000 m [∵ 1 km = 1000 m]
= 5 m : 10000 m
= 1 : 2000
Hence, the ratio = 1 : 2000
(c) 50 paise to ₹ 5
= 50 paise : 5 × 100 paise
= 50 paise : 500 paise

Number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50,00,000
= 60100 × 50,00,000
= 30,00,000
Number of people who like football = 30% of 50,00,000
= 30100 × 50,00,000
= 15,00,000
Number of people who like other games = 50,00,000 – (30,00,000 + 15,00,000)
= 50,00,000 – 45,00,000
