2. Express the first quantity as a ratio to the second quantity. (Remembel units must be the same.) Give the ratios in their simplest form. \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { (a) } 20 \mathrm{~min}: \text { I hour } & \text { (b) } 8 \text { hours : I day } \\ \text { (c) } 50 \mathrm{~cm}: 1 \mathrm{~m} & \text { (d) } 40 \mathrm{c}: \mathrm{R} 4 \\ \text { (e) } 250 \mathrm{mg}: 0,5 \mathrm{~kg} & \text { () } 0,41: 200 \mathrm{ml} \\ \text { (g) } 40 \mathrm{sec}: 2 \text { min } & \text { (h) } 2 \mathrm{~km}: 500 \mathrm{~m} \\ \text { (I) } \mathrm{R} 10: \mathrm{R} 2,50 & \end{array} \)

Let's break down the ratios into their simplest forms: (a) To express 20 minutes as a ratio to 1 hour, convert 1 hour to minutes, which is 60 minutes. So, the ratio is \(20 \text{ min} : 60 \text{ min} = 1 : 3\). (b) For 8 hours to 1 day, convert 1 day into hours, giving you 24 hours. Hence, \(8 \text{ hours} : 24 \text{ hours} = 1 : 3\). (c) Converting 50 cm to meters, you get 0.5 m. Thus, the ratio is \(50 \text{ cm} : 100 \text{ cm} = 1 : 2\). (d) The ratio of 40 cents to 4 Rand (R) needs conversion: 4 Rand = 400 cents. So, \(40 \text{ c} : 400 \text{ c} = 1 : 10\). (e) Convert 0.5 kg to mg: 0.5 kg = 500,000 mg, yielding \(250 \text{ mg} : 500,000 \text{ mg} = 1 : 2,000\). (f) The ratio 0.41 : 200 ml is already in simplest terms since they are in different formats. It can be presented as is. (g) For 40 seconds to 2 minutes, convert 2 minutes to seconds (120 seconds), leading to \(40 \text{ sec} : 120 \text{ sec} = 1 : 3\). (h) Convert 2 km to meters: 2 km = 2000 m. Thus, the ratio is \(2000 \text{ m} : 500 \text{ m} = 4 : 1\). (i) R10 to R2.50 simply gives \(10 : 2.5 = 4 : 1\). Feel free to double-check these ratios for accuracy!
