Answer:

i) 3/4

ii) 1/3

iii) 1/3

iv) 5/6 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Any ratio can be written as a fraction.

For example 3:4 can be writen as 3/4 or 14:42 as 14/42.

After you convert them to fractions you then simplify them by finding their highest common factor (HCF) and then divide both numerator and denominator by the HCF. When you cant simplify the fraction anymore, that is the fraction in its lowest terms.
