Write the ratio as a fraction in lowest terms. Compare in hours.
35 hours to 3 days
To compare the ratio of 35 hours to 3 days in the form of a fraction, we first need to convert the days to hours, since there are 24 hours in a day.
3 days * 24 hours/day = 72 hours
Now we can write the ratio as a fraction:
35 hours / 72 hours
Since the hours unit is common to both the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel them out:
35 / 72
This fraction is already in its lowest terms because 35 and 72 share no common factors other than 1. Therefore, the ratio of 35 hours to 3 days expressed as a fraction in lowest terms is 35/72.
