Answer: 1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4
Step-by-step explanation: Change values to whole numbers.
Convert any decimal numbers to integers by multiplying both sides by 101 = 10 to eliminate all, 1, decimal places.
We then have:
1.5 : 6 = 15 : 60
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 15 and 60 is 15
Divide both terms by the GCF, 15:
15 ÷ 15 = 1
60 ÷ 15 = 4
The ratio 15 : 60 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 15 :
15 : 60 = 1 : 4
Therefore:
1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4
