Question and options
Find the ratio of 250 ml and 2 liters.
- 9:1
- 1:7
- 8:1
- 1:8
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 1:8
Both quantities must be in the same unit first: 2 litres = 2000 ml. Then 250 : 2000 simplifies to 1 : 8 on dividing by 250. The reversed ratio 8 : 1 compares 2 litres to 250 ml, which is the wrong order.
