The ratio of two numbers can be written as a fraction by placing the first number as the numerator and the second number as the denominator.
Therefore, the ratio of 4 1/3 to 6 is 13/3 : 6.
To simplify this ratio, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.
The GCD of 13 and 3 is 1.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator of the ratio by the GCD (which is 1) will give us the simplest form of the ratio.
13 ÷ 1 = 13
