(a) 500 g : 2 kg = 500 g : 2000 kg = 500 : 2000 = 1 : 4
(b) $3.00 : 50c = 300 c : 50 c = 300 : 50 = 6 : 1
(c) 4 km : 1000 m = 4000 m : 1000 m = 4000 : 1000 = 4 : 1
(d) 20 minutes : 1 hours = 20 min : 60 min = 20 : 60 = 1 : 3

6. A ratio of 3 : 1 means there are 3 + 1 = 4 parts altogether.
The pizza is cut into 8 slices each part is 8 ÷ 4 = 2 slices.

I get 3 x 2 slices = 6 slices, 
My friend gets 1 x 2 slices = 2 slices

7. The ratio when they bought the house was Pierre : Milo = $50 000 : $150 000 = 1 : 3
There are 1 + 3 = 4 parts altogether.

If they sell the house for $300 000, each part is $300 000 ÷ 4 = $75 000

Therefore Pierre get 1 x $75 000 = $75 000
Milo get 3 x $75 000 = $225 000

(a) Average speed = 160 ÷ 2 = 80 km/h

(b) Fuel consumption = 160 ÷ 20 = 8 km/ L

(c) Rental per person = 90 ÷ 3 = $30/ person

(d) Total cost per person = (90 + 25) ÷ 3 = $38/ person
