Find the ratio of 5 m to 10 km.a)It is 1:3b)It is 3000:1c)It is 2000:1...
5:10
covert 10km to meter
1km=1000m
10km= 10000m
so,
5:10000= 5/10000
= 1/2000 =1:2000

Find the ratio of 5 m to 10 km.a)It is 1:3b)It is 3000:1c)It is 2000:1...
Understanding the Units
To find the ratio of 5 meters to 10 kilometers, we first need to convert both measurements to the same unit.
- 1 kilometer equals 1000 meters.
- Therefore, 10 kilometers equals 10,000 meters.
Conversion of Units
- Convert 10 km:
10 km = 10 x 1000 m = 10,000 m
Now we have both measurements in meters:
- 5 m
- 10,000 m
Calculating the Ratio
Next, we calculate the ratio of 5 m to 10,000 m:
- Ratio = 5 m : 10,000 m
To simplify this ratio, we divide both sides by 5:
- 5 m / 5 = 1
- 10,000 m / 5 = 2,000
So the simplified ratio is:
- 1 : 2,000
Conclusion
The ratio of 5 m to 10 km is therefore 1:2000. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D'.
This means for every 1 meter, there are 2000 meters in 10 kilometers, highlighting the significant difference in scale between these two measurements.
