Question

25cg:4g in lowest terms

Answer 1

1:16.

Explanation:

The given ratio of 25cg : 4g.

Here, cg is centigram and g is gram.

We know that,

1 g = 100 cg

So, 4 g = 400 cg

Now, using this conversion we get

`\frac{25\text{ cg}}{4\text{ g}}=\frac{25\text{ cg}}{400\text{ cg}}`

`\frac{25\text{ cg}}{4\text{ g}}=(1)/(16)`

`25\text{ cg}:4\text{ g}=1:16`

Therefore, the required ratio is 1:16.
