Question

Find the ratio of: Rs.5 to 50 paisa.

Answer 1

Hint: - We know an important relation between rupee and paise i.e. Re. 1 is equal to 100 paisa.To convert rupee into paise just have to multiply 100 with given rupee i.e $Rs x$=$100\times x$=$100xpaise$.These conversions are very useful for finding the solution in this question.

Complete step-by-step answer:
As mentioned in this question, we have to find the ratio of Rs. 5 and 50 paisa.
Now Rs. 5 can be converted to paisa by using the formula given in the hint as follows
Rs. 5 is equal to
\[=5\times 100\]
=500
Hence, the Rs. 5 is converted to 500 paisa and now, the ratio is calculated as
\[\begin{align}
  & =\dfrac{500}{50} \\
 & =\dfrac{10}{1} \\
\end{align}\]
Hence, the ratio is equal to $10 : 1$

NOTE: -
The students can make a mistake while solving this question if they don’t know the formula for converting Rs. into paisa which is as follows
Rs. 1 is equal to 100 paisa.
Another way of doing this question is by converting paise into rupees which can be done just simply dividing the paisa by 100 that is as follows
\[x\ paisa=Rs.\dfrac{x}{100}\]
