Question

Simplify: 0.007 km : 0.021 km : 14 m

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1 : 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make them into same unit by converting it into km or m :

1 km = 1000 m

0.007 km = 7 m

0.021 km = 21 m

7 : 21 : 14

OR

14 m = 0.014 km

Then you can simplify it by 7 :

m,

7 : 21 : 14

= 1 : 3 : 2

OR

km,

0.007 : 0.021 : 0.014

= 0.001 : 0.003 : 0.002

= 1 : 3 : 2

(take note: in ratio, it is better to put it in whole number form rather than decimal form)
