Question

Represent 500 grams as a fraction of one kilogram. (1kilogram = 1000 grams)

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{1}{2}$

1 kg = 1000 g
Hence, 500 grams as a fraction of 1 kg = $\frac{500}{1000}$

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