Find a common number that you can divide both by, just like simplifying fractions. Say you have a ratio of 2:4. Both of those numbers are divisible by two, so if you divide both by two you get 1:2. Generally you want to have both numbers as whole numbers (i.e. no fractions or decimals)
Find the GCF of the numbers and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the ratio is in its simplest form. If the ratio is between two decimals, multiply them by whatever power of ten will eliminate the decimals. Then proceed with the GCF.
12 : 20 = 6 : 10 = 3 : 5
12/25this is because you shouldn't have decimals on the numerator
Expressed as a ratio in its simplest form, by dividing the antecedent and consequent by 3, 21:27 is equal to 7:9.
0.6/2.4 = 0.1/4 = 1/40
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 ===
simplify the ratio 18b^2 to 45b
No.
1654, as a simplified ratio, is 1654/1.
17:23 is the tidiest ratio.
Hhghj
It is 113/93. You can simplify the ratio of required.
To divide the numerator and the denominator of a ratio by the same factor means to simplify or reduce the ratio. This is done by dividing both numbers in the ratio by their greatest common factor, which results in an equivalent ratio.
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.
21/7 = 3 Or, a 3 to 1 ratio.
the ratio of 1.4 to 2.6 ------is the same as 5.6 to 10.4
5:2
16:21
