A piece of ribbon of length 1.2 m1.2\text{ m} is cut into two parts, PP and QQ. The length of part PP is 45 cm45\text{ cm}. Express the ratio of the length of part PP to the length of part QQ in the form a:ba : b, where aa and bb are integers in their simplest form. Hence, write the length of part PP as a fraction of the length of part QQ.

Worked solution

1. 统一长度单位并计算部分 $Q$ 的长度

缎带的总长度为 1.2 m=120 cm1.2\text{ m} = 120\text{ cm}。
因此,部分 QQ 的长度为:
120 cm−45 cm=75 cm120\text{ cm} - 45\text{ cm} = 75\text{ cm}

2. 求部分 $P$ 与部分 $Q$ 长度的最简整数比

部分 PP 的长度与部分 QQ 的长度之比为:
P:Q=45:75P : Q = 45 : 75
两边同时除以最大公因数 1515 得:
P:Q=3:5P : Q = 3 : 5

3. 将部分 $P$ 的长度表示为部分 $Q$ 长度的分数

由前面的比例 P:Q=3:5P : Q = 3 : 5 可得,部分 PP 的长度是部分 QQ 长度的:
35\frac{3}{5}

Answer

比例为 3:53 : 5;分数为 35\dfrac{3}{5}
