You divide the numerator by the denominator.
Divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer, divided by 1, is the relevant ratio.
Unit Ratio- a ratio that has a denominator of 1
u find the common denominator
The rule depends on what you wish to do with the ratio.
When expressed as a ratio of two integers (not intergers!), the simplest form for the integer but not others, has 1 as the denominator.
Divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer, divided by 1, is the relevant ratio.
Divide the numerator of the original fraction y its denominator.
Divide the numerator of the ratio by the denominator. The answer, with a denominator is the required unit fraction. And I have never ever used a diagram - I have no clue what it is or how to use it!
You divide the numerator of the ratio by its denominator.
A unit ratio.
Find an equivalent ratio so that the denominator = 1. This may require the numerator to be a fraction.
Unit Ratio- a ratio that has a denominator of 1
u find the common denominator
The rule depends on what you wish to do with the ratio.
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator of the ratio. If the GCF is 1 you are done. If not divide both, the numerator and the denominator, by the GCF and then you are done. For example: 3/7: the GCF is 1 so the ratio cannot be simplified. 3/6: the GCF is 3 so the ratio is 1/2
If you start with a ratio in the form p/q and want a ratio with a denominator of 1, simply divided p by q. So suppose you are given the ratio 35/10 (so that p = 35, q = 10). Then divide 35 by 10 which gives 3.5. So the units ratio is 3.5:1 or (7/2):1
A unit rate is a ratio in which the numerator or denominator is 1 unit.
