Question

Express the first quantity as a fraction of the second 650m,1.95km​

Answer 1

The first quantity represent 1/3 of the second quantity

Explanation:

Remember that

`1\ km=1,000\ m`

To convert kilometers to meters, multiply by 1,000

we have

650 m

1.95 km ----> convert to meters

`1.95\ km=1.95(1,000)=1,950\ m`

we know that

To express the first quantity (650 m) as a fraction of the second quantity (1,950 m), divide the first quantity by the second quantity

so

`(650)/(1,950)`

Simplify

Divide by 650 both numerator and denominator

`(1)/(3)`

therefore

The first quantity represent 1/3 of the second quantity
