Show you how to turn a ratio into a fraction in simplest form?
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.
