Question

The speed of a Garden-Snail is 50 meters per hour and that of the Cheetah is 120 kilometers per hour. Find the ratio of the speeds.

Answer 1

Speed of the Garden Snails = 50 m/hour = 50/1000 kmph

= 1/20 kmph

Speed of the Cheetah = 120 kmph 

Ratio of their speeds = 1/20 : 120

= 20/20 : 20 x 120

= 1 : 2400

Answer 2

Speed of a Garden-Snails = 50m/h = \(\frac{50}{1000}\)km/h = 0.05 km/h

Speed of the Cheetah = 120 km/h.

Ratio = \({\frac {\text{Speed of a Garden-Snail}}{\text{Speed of the Cheetah}}}\)

\(= \frac{0.05}{120}\)

\(= \frac{5}{12000}\)

\(=\frac1{2400}\)
