Write the ratio of 1 silver dollar to 3 quarters in simplest form
A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:). Suppose we want to write the ratio of 8 and 12.
We can write this as 8:12 or as a fraction 8/12, and we say the ratio is eight to twelve.
Using this information you should be able to come up with the right answer!
is the answer 1/3
no its 2/3
To find the ratio of 1 silver dollar to 3 quarters in simplest form, we need to determine the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide both by that number.
Let's start by converting the silver dollar and quarters into their respective values in terms of quarters. Since 1 silver dollar is equivalent to 4 quarters, we can represent 1 silver dollar as 4 quarters.
Now, we have:
1 silver dollar = 4 quarters
3 quarters = 3 quarters
The ratio of 1 silver dollar to 3 quarters can thus be written as:
4 quarters : 3 quarters
Next, we need to simplify this ratio by finding the GCD of 4 and 3. The GCD of 4 and 3 is 1.
Dividing both numbers by 1 (the GCD), we get:
4/1 : 3/1
4 : 3
Therefore, the ratio of 1 silver dollar to 3 quarters in simplest form is 4 : 3.
