Question

Write the ratio 3/5 to 9 as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a ratio to a fraction, you divide the number on the left by the number on the right. This gets you (3/5)/6. When dividing fractions by whole numbers, you need to convert the whole number to a fraction. I converted 6 to 6/1, so that gave me (3/5)/(6/1). You then multiply the top number by the bottom number to get the numerator of the answer, and the middle 2 numbers multiplied is the denominator. The answer is (3x1)/(5x6), or 3/30, which can be simplified to 1/10.
