Question

A cubic meter of elm is 600kg and a cubic meter of pine is 350kg. What is the ratio of the pine's mass to the elm's mass?

Answer 1

The ratio from pine to elm is pine/elm
so, pine/elm
1. Plug it in  350/600
2. Simplify   7/12
So there is 7kg of pine to every 11kg of elm. Written as a ratio, it's pine:elm, so 7:11
