=6g : 1 g

Answer 2

Answer:

To find a ratio we have to bring all the number in the same units.

Explanation:

1kg = 1000g

3 kg = 3000g

while calculating ratio of two numbers, we have to ensure that they must be in same units so for this sake, we have changed kg into grams.

3kg : 500g

put the value of 3 kg in grams

3000g : 500g

now divide or reduce it into its simplest form

6:1

so now we get 6:1 as the ratio.

What is ratio?

A ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example,

if there are ten oranges and six lemons in a basket, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is 10 to six. So, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 3:5 and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 5:8.

How to solve ratios?

Ratios can be fully simplified just like fractions. To simplify a ratio, divide all of the numbers in the ratio by the same number until they cannot be divided any more or we reduce it to its simplest form.
