If you are dividing, you can use a calculator or long division to find a decimal ratio.

But to find a whole number fraction (ratio), you have to express both number as whole numbers. Multiply by a factor of 10 to move the decimal over to the right as many places as you need to, multiplying both numbers by the same amount. Then divide by the Greatest Common Factor.

5.2 to 5.6 (x 10)

= 52 to 56 (13 x 4 to 14 x 4)

= 13 to 14

and the ratio is 13 : 14
