3 sailboats to 6 fan boats write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form. then explain it.

Answer 1

1:2 or 1/2 easy divide 3÷3 6÷3 = 1:2

Answer 2

Answer: 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in mathematics , the ratio of m to n is written as $\dfrac{m}{n}$ or m:n [In simplified terms]

Similarly, for the given question , the ratio of 3 sailboats to 6 fan boats will be written as :

$\dfrac{3}{6}$

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3 [∵ both 3 and 6 are multiple of 3], we get

$=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, the  ratio of 3 sailboats to 6 fan boats will be 1:2.
