Write each ratio as a fraction in simplest form.
1. 3 sailboats to 6 fan boats
3/6 = 1/2
3 sail boats to 6 fan boats
To express a ratio as a fraction in simplest form, you need to simplify the numerator and denominator until they have no common factors.
In this case, the ratio is 3 sailboats to 6 fan boats. To simplify this ratio, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 3 and 6 is 3.
So, divide both 3 sailboats and 6 fan boats by 3:
3 sailboats ÷ 3 = 1 sailboat
6 fan boats ÷ 3 = 2 fan boats
Therefore, the simplified fraction ratio is 1 sailboat to 2 fan boats.
