Write each ratio or rate as a fraction in simplest form.
l 1/2 to 3/4
That's One and one half to three fourths
I think the answer is 2/1
That doesn't look like no college math πππ
Yeah I agree with ββ€ββ‘ββ€ that look like my middle school math
Guys. That is not college math. J had the same problem two weeks ago. I'm in 7th grade.
Guys just let them pretend it is college math
To write the ratio or rate as a fraction in simplest form, you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The ratio "One and one-half to three-fourths" can be expressed as the fraction 1 1/2 to 3/4.
To convert the mixed number (1 1/2) to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1), which results in 3. Therefore, 1 1/2 is equal to 3/2.
Now we can rewrite the ratio as a fraction: 3/2 to 3/4.
Next, find the GCD of both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. The GCD of 3 and 2 is 1, and the GCD of 3 and 4 is also 1.
To simplify the fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 1. The resulting fraction will be in simplest form.
So, 3/2 divided by 1/1 becomes (3/2) * (1/1), which simplifies to 3/2.
Therefore, the ratio or rate "One and one-half to three-fourths" can be written as the fraction 3/2 in simplest form.
