The ratio of 252.5: 53 is same as?Options5:35:61: 2525:1

To find out if the ratio 252.5:53 is the same as any of the given options, we need to simplify the ratio to its lowest terms. Here's how to do it:

1. Divide both numbers in the ratio by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 252.5 and 53 is 1. So, the simplified ratio is 252.5/1 : 53/1, which is 252.5:53.

2. Now, let's compare this simplified ratio with the given options:

   • 5:1 is not the same as 252.5:53 because if we multiply both numbers in the ratio 5:1 by 50.5 (which is 252.5 divided by 5), we get 252.5:50.5, not 252.5:53.

   • 35:6 is not the same as 252.5:53 because if we multiply both numbers in the ratio 35:6 by 7.21428571429 (which is 252.5 divided by 35), we get 252.5:43.2857142857, not 252.5:53.

   • 1:2525 is not the same as 252.5:53 because if we multiply both numbers in the ratio 1:2525 by 252.5 (which is 252.5 divided by 1), we get 252.5:635062.5, not 252.5:53.

   • 5:1 is not the same as 252.5:53 because if we multiply both numbers in the ratio 5:1 by 50.5 (which is 252.5 divided by 5), we get 252.5:50.5, not 252.5:53.

So, none of the given options is the same as the ratio 252.5:53.
