Question

Represent 200 grams as a fraction of a kilogram. (1 kilogram = 1000 grams)

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{5}$

1 kg = 1000 g
200 grams as a fraction of 1 kg = $\frac{200}{1000}$

Cancelling zeros we get,
$\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$ (reducing to the lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by 2)
