Question

Find the ratio of the following and write in the lowest form.

$500g$ to $1.3kg$

Answer 1

converting gram to kilo-gram.

$$\begin{gathered} 1.3kg=1.3\times 1000 \\ =1300g \end{gathered}$$ $\left[1kg=1000g\right]$

Ratio $=500:1300$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{5\cancel{00}}{13\cancel{00}} \\ =\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}$$

$=5:13$

Hence, the ratio of the given question is $500:1300$ and the lowest form is $5:13$
