Question

Share 1km in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert km to m

1km=1000m

then divide it into 5, because of 2+3

1000/5=200

2*200=400cm or 0.4km

3*200=600cm or 0.6km

Answer 2

400:600 (meters) or 0.4:0.6 (kilometers)

Step-by-step explanation:

1km is equal to 1000m. Considering our ratio is 2:3, it can also be seen as 4:6 which is equal to 10.


`10` ×
`100 = 1000`

`4` ×
`100 = 400`

`6` ×
`100 = 600`

`400:600`

So our answer is 400:600, which can also be converted back to kilometers.


`400` ÷
`1000 = 0.4`

`600` ÷
`1000 = 0.6`

`0.4:0.6`
