Snehal has a red ribbon that is $ 80 \mathrm{~cm} $ long and a blue ribbon. $ 2.20 \mathrm{~m} $ long. What is the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon?

Given:

Length of the red ribbon$=80\ cm$.

Length of the blue ribbon$=2.20\ m$.

To do:

We have to find the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon.

Solution:

We know that,

$1\ m=100\ cm$

This implies,

$2.20\ m=2.20\times100\ cm=220\ cm$

Therefore,

The required ratio$=80:220$

$=4:11$

The ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon is $4:11$.
