How does a galvanometer is converted into an ammeter?

How is a galvanometer converted into a voltmeter?

A galvanometer (coil resistance 99Omega ) is converted into an ammeter using a shunt of 1Omega and connected as shown in figure (a). The ammeter reads 3A. The same galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a resistance of 101Omega series. This voltmeter is connected as shown in figure (b). Its reading if found to be 4/5 of the full scale reading. Find internal resistance r of the cell.
