To simplify the given questions

Part A


600g\colon4Kg

To find the ratio, we will first have to convert the factors into the same units

We will convert 4kg to grams

So that we will have


\begin{gathered} 1\operatorname{kg}=1000g \\ 4\operatorname{kg}=4000g \end{gathered}

Therefore


600g\colon4Kg=600g\colon4000g

Next, we will have to reduce the ratios to the lowest term

Thus, the answer is


3\colon20

Part B


350\colon400

Since they have the same units, we will reduce the ratio to its lowest term

Therefore, the answer will be


7\colon8
