divide the right number by the left number
Ex:
3:6
6/3= 2
3=1 6=2
1:2
A ratio is normally expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, 5:4, 8:13....and so on. These ratios are in their simplest form as they numbers have no common factors. A ratio such as 6 : 8 can be simplified to give 3 : 4 as both numbers are divisible by 2. The rules when converting a ratio to a fraction are :- 1) The number of the left-hand side of the ratio becomes the numerator of the fraction. 2) The two quantities must be stated in the same units. 3) The fraction should be written in its lowest terms. EXAMPLE, 40 : 216 expressed as a fraction = 40/216 = 5/27.
You type the digits, one after the other, from left to right.
2.00 Move the decimal (200.) left 2 spaces :)
There is none, you have to put 5 into eight, which is one, whats left over is 3/5. So its 1 3/5 which can't be simplified.
Move the decimal two spots to the left. This will leave you with 0.0204
8/27 is in simplest form since 27 does not go into 8. The easy way to write a fraction is simplest form is to write the numerator and the denominator in factored form, cancel out all the common prime factors and then multiply the what is left. So 8/27= 2x2x2/3x3x3 and we see there are no common prime factors so it is already in simplest form.
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator of the fraction. Divide both numbers by the GCF. What is left is the fraction in its simplest form.

You divide percent values by 100 (or move the decimal two places to the left) to get the decimal equivalent: 72 / 100 = 0.72

0.40 = 0.40/ 1.00 Cancel down by '10' 0.4/1.0 Cancel down the decimal point 04/10 The 'zero' to the left of '4' is trivial, 'drop it'. Hence 4/10 Cancel down by '2' 2/5 The fraction in its simplest form .
This is because there is no common factors left for both numbers.
17 over 105 already is in simplest form. Because 105 is not divisible by 17, and 17 is only divisible by itself and 1, you are left with the original fraction.
you left for a better job
322/4 is the same as 161/17 17 will go into 161 nine times with eight left over so the simplest form is:- 9 and 8/17
You type the digits, one after the other, from left to right.
