Write this ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units.
5
weeks to
21
days
The ratio can be written as:
5 weeks : 21 days
To write it as a fraction, we need to convert either the weeks or days to the same unit of time. Let's convert everything to days:
5 weeks = 5 x 7 days = 35 days
So the ratio can be written as:
35 days : 21 days
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 7:
35 days ÷ 7 = 5 days
21 days ÷ 7 = 3 days
So the simplified ratio is:
5 : 3
Therefore, the ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units is 5/3.
To convert the ratio of 5 weeks to 21 days into a fraction, we need to make sure the units are the same. Since both weeks and days can be expressed in terms of days, we can use the fact that there are 7 days in a week.
So, the ratio can be written as:
(5 weeks) / (21 days)
To simplify the fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.
The GCD of 5 and 21 is 1, so dividing both by 1 gives:
(5 weeks) / (21 days) = 5/21
Therefore, the ratio of 5 weeks to 21 days can be expressed as a fraction in simplest form without any units as 5/21.
