Simple whole number ratio implies that ratio of the elements in a compound is a whole number i.e. the ratio of elements bear whole number. For example in Cu2O, Cu and O combine in a simple whole number ratio of 2:1.
It is the ratio of one whole number to another whole number, which may be expressed as a fraction. The ratio (or fraction) may be simplified by dividing both numbers by the greatest common factor.
1:2
Because as a ratio in its simplest form, the denominator is 1.
A rational number can be written as a fraction, with integers in the numerator and the denominator.
Simple whole number ratio implies that ratio of the elements in a compound is a whole number i.e. the ratio of elements bear whole number. For example in Cu2O, Cu and O combine in a simple whole number ratio of 2:1.
Many people find whole number ratios easier to understand.
Every whole number can be expressed as the quotient or ratio of other whole numbers, and whole numbers ARE integers.
It is the ratio of one whole number to another whole number, which may be expressed as a fraction. The ratio (or fraction) may be simplified by dividing both numbers by the greatest common factor.
-- Any number that can be written as the ratio of two whole numbers is a rational number.-- Any whole number can be written as the ratio of that number to ' 1 ', so it's rational.
Yes it is esssentially that number to one ratio five written as a ratio would be a five to one ratio
To calculate the empirical ratio in chemistry, you need to divide the number of atoms of each element in a compound by the smallest number of atoms present. Then, if needed, you can multiply the ratio by a whole number to obtain a whole number ratio. For example, in water (H2O), the empirical ratio is 2:1 (2 hydrogen atoms for every 1 oxygen atom).
4.8 is the ratio 48/10 . You can never write 4.8 as a singlewhole number, simply because 4.8 is not a whole number.

The lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound is determined by the ratio of positive to negative ions that combine to form a neutral compound. This ratio is typically expressed in the simplest whole number form, known as the empirical formula.
