Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given numbers are :
0.30 cm and 0.42 cm
We need to find the ratio of the above whole numbers.
Taking 0.3 cm on the numerator and 0.42 cm on the denominator. So,
[tex]\dfrac{0.3}{0.42}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{10}}{\dfrac{42}{100}}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{10}\times \dfrac{100}{42}\\\\=\dfrac{10\times 3}{42}\\\\=\dfrac{10}{14}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]
So, the required fraction is equal to [tex]\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex].
