Question

What fraction of 40kg is 16kg?

Answer 1

2/5


BREAKDOWN:

You can simply divide 16 by 40:

Fraction = (16 kg) / (40 kg)

Now, simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8:

Fraction = (16 kg / 8) / (40 kg / 8)

Fraction = 2/5

So, 16 kg is 2/5 of 40 kg.
