a) 5\;:\;1
b) 1\;:\;5
c) 6\;:\;1
d) 1\;:\;6
correct answer is: c) 6\;:\;1
Explanation
We know,
1 Rupee = 100 paise.
So that, 3 Rupees =\left(100\times3\right) paise.
\rightarrow\ 300 paise.
Now, Price of 1 pencil : Price of 1 toffee
= 300\;:\;50
=\large\frac{300}{50}
So that, the ratio of pencil and toffee price is = 6\;:\;1
Ans: The ratio of prices of a pencil and toffee is 6\;:\;1\;.
This precise math question can be conveyed differently as well:
- If a pencil costs ₹ 3 and a toffee costs 50 paise, what is the ratio of their prices?
- Given that the price of a pencil is ₹ 3 and the price of a toffee is 50 paise, what is the ratio of their prices?
- What is the ratio of the price of a pencil ₹ 3 to the price of a toffee 50 paise?
