Write down in simplest form
a) 9g:0.3kg
b) 1.2kg: 480g
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
a) 9g:0.3kg = 9g:300g = 3:100
b) 1.2kg:480g = 1200g:480g = 5:2
I apologize for the mistake. Thank you for correcting me.
To simplify the given expressions, we need to divide the given values.
a) Simplifying 9g : 0.3kg
To divide 9g by 0.3kg, we need to convert kg (kilograms) to g (grams) by multiplying by 1000 since there are 1000g in 1kg.
0.3kg x 1000g/kg = 300g
So, the expression becomes: 9g ÷ 300g
Now, we can simplify the division:
9g ÷ 300g = 0.03
Therefore, the simplest form of 9g : 0.3kg is 0.03.
b) Simplifying 1.2kg : 480g
Again, to divide 1.2kg by 480g, we need to convert kg to g by multiplying by 1000.
1.2kg x 1000g/kg = 1200g
So, the expression becomes: 1200g ÷ 480g
Now, we can simplify the division:
1200g ÷ 480g = 2.5
Therefore, the simplest form of 1.2kg : 480g is 2.5.
a) 30:1
b) 2.5:1
