To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
- A ratio is define as the comparision of similar quantities and it does not have units.
- It is known that [tex]100cm=1m[/tex], now both quantities have the same units, therefore, you can writ:e the following ratio:
[tex]5:1[/tex]
(To simplify a ratio you need to divide both quantities by a common number. with no remainder. In this case, that number is [tex]1[/tex], so it does not change)
Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: [tex]A. 5:1[/tex]
