Write the ratio in the simplest form (lowest terms).
(i) $ 600 \mathrm{~g} $ to $ 1 \mathrm{~kg} $
(ii) $ 50 \mathrm{p} $ to $ Rs. 2.50 $
(iii) $ 2 \mathrm{~L} $ to $ 800 \mathrm{~mL} $
(iv) $ 80 \mathrm{~cm} $ to $ 4 \mathrm{~m} $

Given: 

(i) \( 600 \mathrm{~g} \) to \( 1 \mathrm{~kg} \)

(ii) 50 paise to \( Rs. 2.50 \)

(iii) 2 L to 800 mL

(iv) \( 80 \mathrm{~cm} \) to \( 4 \mathrm{~m} \)

To do: 

Here, we have to express the given ratios in the simplest form.

Solution:

We know that;

$1\ m = 100\ cm$

$1\ kg=1000\ g$

$1\ L=1000\ mL$

$Rs.\ 1=100\ paise$

(i) $600\ g:1\ kg=600:1\times1000$

$=600:1000$

$=3:5$

(ii) $50\ paise: Rs.\ 2.50=50:2.50\times100$

$=50:250$

$1:5$

(iii) $2\ L:800\ mL=2\times1000:800$

$=2000:800$

$=5:2$

 (iv) $80\ cm:4\ m=80:4\times100$

$=80:400$

$=1:5$
