write in ratio of 12kg to 320 g
Answers
Here we will learn how to make the ratio in simplest form.
1. A ratio between two quantities of same kind and in the same units is obtained on dividing one quantity by the other and has no unit. The ratio is independent of the units used in the quantities compared.
2. The ratio must always be expressed in its simplest form or in its lowest terms.
A ratio is said to be is the simplest form or in the lowest term if two quantities of a ratio (i.e., antecedent and consequent) have no common factor (i.e. antecedent and consequent are co-prime) other than 1 (or their HCF is 1.)
For example:
(i) The ratio between 36 kg and 24 kg = (36 kg)/(24 kg)
= 36/24, [both numerator and denominator are divided by 12]
= 3/2
= 3 : 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
12kg = 12000g
ratio=12000/320
75/2
or 75:2 is the Answer
