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

$1.5\ kg : 350\ g=\dfrac{1.5\ kg}{350\ g}$

$1.5\ kg : 350\ g=\dfrac{1.5\times 1000\ g}{350\ g}$

$1.5\ kg : 350\ g=\dfrac{1500\ g}{350\ g}$

$1.5\ kg : 350\ g=\dfrac{150}{35}$

$1.5\ kg : 350\ g=\dfrac{30}{7}$

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