There are many counter examples to this. People seem to think multiplying two fractions will get you a whole number but it definitely isn't the case. Just take 1/2 and 2/3 as an example:

1/2 ÷ 2/3 (dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)

1/2 * 3/2 is 3/4 and that is not a whole number. Hope this helped.

Find the ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 is

$\frac{5}{13}\\or\\5:13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio:

In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

It is also the Fraction

For example, if a bowl of fruit contains eight apples and six kiwis, then the ratio of apples to kiwis is eight to six.

i.e 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3.

Now here,

$2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{2}\\\\2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\and\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{12+1}{2}\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$

Ratio of 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

$\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{13}{2}} = \frac{5}{13}\ \textrm{The number 2 will be cancelled from Numerator and Denominator} \\\\Hence,\\Final\ Ratio\ is\ 5 :13$
