find the ratio of the first number to
the second number and simplify:
36 to 88
would it be 9/22 ?
yup! good job!
To find the ratio of the first number to the second number, you need to divide the first number by the second number. In this case, you would divide 36 by 88. The result is approximately 0.4090.
To simplify the ratio, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor to get an equivalent fraction. In this case, you can multiply both 36 and 88 by 2 to simplify the ratio.
So, the simplified ratio of 36 to 88 is 18 to 44. Dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 2 in this case) gives you the final simplified ratio of 9 to 22. Therefore, your answer is correct - the simplified ratio is 9/22. Well done!
