Question

Express the ratio below in its simplest form. 1 3 : 1 2

Answer 1

You can write any ratio as a fraction so 1/3:1/2 can be re-written as $\frac{1/3}{1/2}$ so you need to simplify the complex fraction to find the ratio
$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{2}{1}$ - Invert the denominator and multiply to find the ratio
2/3 - the answer
2:3 - convert back to a ratio
