Question

simplify the factors of ratioa) 600g : 4kgb) 350 : 400

Answer 1

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

$7\colon8$
