Answer 2

Answer:

1/40 or 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

the weight of baby el is 200

the weight of mama el is 8000

take 200/8000 and simplify.

if you divide the top by 200 then divide the bottom by 200

200 divided by 200 is 1

8000 divided by 200 is 40

so the simplest fraction is 1/40

if you type this in to a calculator, you will find that it equals 0.025
