If 800g:1kg is equal to 1:n then the value of n is 1/8.
The ratio shows how many times one value is contained in another value.
Example:
There are 3 apples and 2 oranges in a basket.
The ratio of apples to oranges is 3:2 or 3/2.
We have,
800g : 1kg = 1 : n
This can be written as,
800g/1kg = 1/n
Cross multiply.
n = 1kg/800g
[ 1 kg = 1000g ]
n = 1000g/8000g
n = 1/8
Thus,
The value of n is 1/8.
