Express each ratio as a fraction in it lowest terms
18hours to 2days
3/8
(I Think)
3/8 is correct, since
18hr : 2days = 18hr : 48hr = 18:48 = 3:8
To express the ratio 18 hours to 2 days as a fraction in its lowest terms, we need to convert the units to be the same.
First, let's convert the 2 days to hours. Since there are 24 hours in one day, we can multiply 2 days by 24 hours/day:
2 days * 24 hours/day = 48 hours
Now we have 18 hours to 48 hours.
To express this ratio as a fraction, we use the format numerator/denominator.
So the fraction is: 18/48.
To simplify this fraction to its lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 18 and 48 is 6.
Dividing 18 by 6 gives us 3, and dividing 48 by 6 gives us 8.
Therefore, the ratio 18 hours to 2 days, expressed as a fraction in its lowest terms, is 3/8.
