Answer 2

The ratio is 5:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is defined as the relation between two or more entities which shows how much times one is contained in the other.

For finding the ratio of any entities, both of them should be under same unit of measurement.

As denominator 1000 g is in grams, it should be converted to kilograms for ratio calculation or numerator can be converted to grams.

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 gms

$\frac{5 \ \mathrm{kg}}{1000 \ \mathrm{gm}}=\frac{5 \ \mathrm{kg}}{1 \ \mathrm{kg}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{1}=5 : 1$

(Or)

$\frac{5 \ k g}{1000 \ g m}=\frac{5 \times 1000 \ g}{1000 \ g}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5000}{1000}=\frac{5}{1}=5 : 1$

Therefore, ratio = 5 : 1
