How to write the ration as a fraction in lowest terms. Compare in hours. 22 hours to 3 days. The ratio is __.
3 days = 72 hours
22/72 = 11/36
To write the ratio as a fraction in its lowest terms, we need to simplify it as much as possible.
First, let's convert 3 days to hours. Since there are 24 hours in a day, we multiply 3 by 24 to get 72 hours.
Now we can write the ratio as 22:72.
To simplify this ratio, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 22 and 72.
The factors of 22 are: 1, 2, 11, and 22.
The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72.
The common factors are 1 and 2. The largest common factor is 2, so we divide both 22 and 72 by 2.
22 ÷ 2 = 11
72 ÷ 2 = 36
The simplified ratio is 11:36.
Therefore, the ratio 22 hours to 3 days can be written as the fraction 11/36 in its lowest terms.
