Answer: 3/5
Explanation:
The ratio shows how many times a number is contained in another. To express the ratio as a fraction in its lowest term, we convert 0.3km to metre.
1000 metre makes 1 kilometers. Therefore,
0.3km = 0.3 × 1000 = 300 metre
0.3 km to 500m= 300m to 500m
300m : 500m = 300/500
Reducing to its lowest term, 100 is a common factor.
300/500 = (100×3) / (100×5)
= 3/5.
