Express the following as ratios in the simplest form.
₹ 7 and 50 paise to ₹ 4.

Given :

The ratio of Rs. 7 and 50 paise to Rs. 4.

To do :

We have to find the ratio and write its simplest form.

Solution :

We know that,

$Rs. 1 = 100 paise$

This implies,

$Rs. 7 and 50 paise = 7 \times 100 + 50 paise = 700+50 paise = 750 paise$

$Rs. 4 = 4\times100 paise = 400 paise$

$Rs. 7 : 50 paise to Rs. 4 = 750 paise : 400 paise$

                                         $  = 750 : 400$

                                          $ = 15 : 8$

Therefore, the ratio of Rs. 7 and 50 paise to Rs. 4 is 15:8.
