If 800m is increased to 1km, in which ratio has it been increased?
To find the ratio by which 800m has been increased to become 1km, we need to divide 1km (1000m) by 800m.
Ratio = 1000m / 800m = 1.25
Therefore, the 800m has been increased by a ratio of 1.25 to become 1km.
To find the ratio by which 800m has increased to become 1km, we need to divide the new distance, 1km, by the original distance, 800m.
1 km is equal to 1000m.
So, the ratio of the increase can be calculated as:
1 km / 800 m = 1000 m / 800 m
Simplifying this ratio gives:
1000/800 = 5/4
Therefore, the distance has been increased by a ratio of 5:4.
