Find the ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2​

Answer 1

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

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

OR

$\frac{5}{13}$
