Question

Express the ratio in lowest form:
1.5 kg: 350 g​

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio is:

1.5 kg : 350 g​

To find:

The lowest or simplest form of the given ratio.

Solution:

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

We have,

1.5 kg : 350 g​

It can be written as

`1.5\ kg : 350\ g=(1.5\ kg)/(350\ g)`

`1.5\ kg : 350\ g=(1.5* 1000\ g)/(350\ g)`

`1.5\ kg : 350\ g=(1500\ g)/(350\ g)`

`1.5\ kg : 350\ g=(150)/(35)`

`1.5\ kg : 350\ g=(30)/(7)`

Therefore, the lowest form of the given ratio is 30:7.
