Question

800 litres as a fraction of 2 kilolitres

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate!!

No. of liters= 800 liters

1 kilolitre= 1000 liters

So...

it means=

$\frac{800}{1000}$

and now we convert/reduce them into their simplest forms:

$\frac{8}{10}$

It's easy, we just removed the two zeros from the right side. That's cancellation.

And furthermore,  

$\frac{8}{10}$ $equals \ to$ $\frac{2}{5}$

as 8 and 10's HCF was 2, and by dividing the numerator and denominator by two, we hence get the answer which is:

$\frac{2}{5}$

hope helps! :)
