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:

$\text{ 3 kg to 3.5 kg }\rightarrow\text{ }\frac{3}{3.5}$

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.

$\text{ }\frac{3}{3.5}\text{ = }\frac{\frac{3}{0.5}}{\frac{3.5}{0.5}}\text{ = }\frac{6}{7}$

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