all you have to do is find a number (not one) that will go into 6 and 8. 2 goes into both of them, so it would be 3:4.

It is: 32 to 39
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.
You should always check 2 things first. Make sure that the first number in the ratio is the numerator, and the second is the denominator. A 5:8 ratio should never end up being 8/5. Also, it's very helpful to simplify, if not already done in the ratio. Same applies to writing a fraction as a ratio.
It is simply 6:8. You could, if you wanted to, simplify the ratio by dividing both the numbers by their greatest common factor.
2 to 1
1 : 6
6/14 = 3/7
21:6::7:2
Factor out the 6, 6*1 : 6*7 as 6 appears in both sides of this ratio as a factor it can be eliminated 1 : 7 ===
Divide numerator and denominator by 3.2 . Arrive at the ratio: 3/8 or 0.375 .
The ratio 300 : 250 can simplify to 6 : 5
21 : 6factor out a 33(7 : 2)7 : 2==========simplified ratio
-2 + 8 = 6
6 to 5.6 = 60 to 56 = 30 to 28 = 15 to 14
