It is 6/17 = 0.3529 (approx).
Since the antecedent of the ratio is prime, it is impossible to cancel this ratio of 17:48 down any further.
17 is the ratio of 17 and 1 ... nice and rational.
17:23 is the tidiest ratio.
It is already in its simplest ratio because 17 is a prime number but if it were 7 boys to 21 girls then the ratio would be 1 to 3
It is 6/17 = 0.3529 (approx).
The ratio of composite numbers 6,3,4,12,18 and 17 to prime numbers would be 9,15,21 and 25. This is taught in math.
Since the antecedent of the ratio is prime, it is impossible to cancel this ratio of 17:48 down any further.
17 is the ratio of 17 and 1 ... nice and rational.
17:23 is the tidiest ratio.
17:3 if you're looking for unit ratio, divide both 3 and 17 by three. (which wouldn't be a whole number...) It can be written : 17:3 17 to 3 17/3
It is already in its simplest ratio because 17 is a prime number but if it were 7 boys to 21 girls then the ratio would be 1 to 3
3 to 1 is 51 to 17. So it's bigger than 18 to 17.
Ah, what a happy little question! To find the equivalent ratio to 16:6, we can simplify it by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 2. So, 16 divided by 2 is 8, and 6 divided by 2 is 3. Therefore, the equivalent ratio is 8:3. Remember, there are no mistakes in ratios, just happy little simplifications!
Divide one of them by the other one. The ratio of 2 to 6 is 2/6 = 1/3 . The ratio of 6 to 2 is 6/2 = 3 .
8/17, and that cannot be simplified further.
Express the ratio below in its simplest form. 12 : 6
