Question

Find the ratio of the following: 98 to 63

Answer 1

Hint: For finding the ratio, write the numbers in factorised form and then cancel out the common factors from both the numbers. The numbers left will be the required ratio.

Complete Step-by-Step solution:
$98:63$
Let us split the numbers such that there is a common term,
$14 \times 7:9 \times 7$
On cancelling the common terms,
$14:9$

Note: Multiplying any ratio with a constant doesn’t alter its value. For example, in the above problem $14:9$ is the same as $98:63$. That is the reason why we can easily cancel out common factors from both the numbers in the ratio.
