Question

1. Find the ratio in each of the following cases. b. 3 kg 400 g to 1 kg 700 g


what is the process to find that
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is a comparison of two quantities with similar units.

While finding the ratio of 300 g to 1 kg, what we are saying is that for every 300g , we have 1kg which means 1000g .

By finding ratio , we are finding actually the simplest way to represent the situation given to us. That is

300 g→ 1000g

So for 30 g we have

30g→100g

And for 3 g we have

3g →10g

This simplest representation is called ratio. Now its easier to represent the given situation .

Ratio , therefore, is 3:10.

A simpler way to do this is by dividing both the quantities but remember , units must be same for comparison , like you can’t say 1 hour is less than 60 seconds just because 60 is greater than 1. For comparison, quantities are to be converted to same units.
