Question

2 kg: 50 kg and 25 g:625 g does this form a proportion

Answer 1

Answer:

Firstly, we need to convert everything into the same unit (Grams)

1 kg = 1000g

2 kg = 2 × 1000g

= 2000g

5kg = 5×1000g

= 5000g

So, now we can check if it is in proportion

2000g : 5000g

(Cutting of zeros)

2g : 5g

25g : 625g

(Cutting with 25)

1g : 25g

2g : 5g ≠ 1g : 25g

So, the following ratios do not form a proportion
