Question

In each of the following, find the ratio of the given quantities in the simplest form.


a. 3.750 kg and 1.125 kg

b. 5.3 m and 53cm​

Answer 1

a. 3.750 kg = 3750 g

1.125 kg = 1125 g

$\frac{3750}{1125 \:} \: = \: \frac{10}{3} \: if \: canceled \: by \: \frac{375}{375}$

Hence, the Answer is 10:3 .

b. 5.3 m = 530 m

53 cm = 53 cm

$\frac{530}{53} \: = \: \frac{10}{1} \: if \: canceled \: by \: \frac{53}{53}$

Hence, the Answer is 10:3.
