Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. 3 kg to 3.5 kg

Answer 1

Given:

a.) 3 kg to 3.5 kg​

Transforming this into a fraction, we get:

`\text{ 3 kg to 3.5 kg }\rightarrow\text{ }(3)/(3.5)`

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 3 and 3.5 is 0.5, therefore, simplifying the fraction, we divide the numerator and the denominator by its GCF.

`\text{ }(3)/(3.5)\text{ = }((3)/(0.5))/((3.5)/(0.5))\text{ = }(6)/(7)`

Therefore, the ratio of the fraction in simplest form is 6/7.
