Determine the ratios in simplest form.

Question

a. 30 minutes to 3 hours and 25 minutes

 

b. 500 m to 3.4 km

 

c. 500 g to 10.4 kg

Answer 1

You can write each one in terms of the same units

 

For example, 1 hr = 60 min, so

 

3 hr = 3 * 60 = 180 min

 

3 hr 25 min = 180 + 25 = 205 min

 

Now, you have the ratio 30/205

 

You should be able to now write that in simplest form

 

Do the same for b. and c.

 

1 km = 1000 m

 

1 kg = 1000 g

 

I will leave the rest to you
