This depends on the context. However, it is good practice to reduce a ratio or a fraction to its lowest possible term. The only time you wouldn't simplify a ratio or fraction is if it signified something in its original state.

Simplify the ratio 15 to 33?

To simplify ratios. Take the smallest ratio , and divide it into itself, and then divide the smallest ratio in to the larger ration. Hence 15 : 33 becomes 15/15 : 33.15 1 : 2.2 However, if you wish to keep whole numbers ( rather than decimals), look for a common factor. In this case '3' Hence 15/3 : 33/3 5 : 11 NB Notice ratios are separated by a colon ':' . . When said it is ' Five to eleven'. or ' one to two point two;. NNB Double /equivalent ratios are separated by a double colon ' :: '. e.g. 15:33 :: 5:1 :: 1:2.2
