Question

Find the ratio of the following in simplist form.

$150$ gm to $2$ kg

Answer 1

To get the ratio of $150$ gm to $2$ kg, we have to get both units same i.e. denominator and numerator both must have same units.

So we will convert kg into gm first.

As we know, $1$kg$=1000$ gm.

So, $2$ kg$=2\times 1000=2000$ gm

Now ratio of $150$ gm to $2$ kg can be written as $\frac{150\mathrm{gm}}{2000\mathrm{gm}}$

$=\frac{2\times 3\times 5\times 5}{2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 5\times 5}$

$=\frac{3}{40}$ or $3:40$

Hence, ratio of $150$ gm to $2$ kg $=3:40$.
