Answer:
6:1
Step-by-step explanation:
To write 3km: 500m in its lowest terms. we need to make sure the units are the same.
Converting 3km to metres:
Since 1km = 1000m
3km = (3*1000)m
3km = 3000m
The expression becomes 3000m:500m
3000m:500m = 3000/500
3000m:500m = 6*500/500*1
3000m:500m = 6/1
Hence 3km: 500m in its lowest term is 6:1
