The height of Dougal is 1.84 metres.
The height of Seb is 1.7 metres.
Write the height of Dougal as a fraction of the height of Seb.
Give your answer in its simplest form.
1.84 = x * 1.7
so
x = 184/170 = 92/85
which is as far as can go because it is 4 *23 / (5*17)
no common factors
To write the height of Dougal as a fraction of the height of Seb, we can divide Dougal's height by Seb's height.
Dougal's height: 1.84 meters
Seb's height: 1.7 meters
So, the fraction we need to calculate is 1.84 / 1.7.
To get the fraction in its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.
The GCD of 1.84 and 1.7 is 0.02.
After dividing both the numerator and denominator by 0.02, we get:
1.84 / 1.7 = 92 / 85
Therefore, the height of Dougal is 92/85 of the height of Seb.
To write the height of Dougal as a fraction of the height of Seb, we can divide their heights:
Height of Dougal / Height of Seb = 1.84 / 1.7
To simplify the fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal:
(1.84 * 10) / (1.7 * 10) = 18.4 / 17
This fraction cannot be simplified any further as there are no common factors between 18.4 and 17.
So, the height of Dougal as a fraction of the height of Seb is 18.4/17.
