Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form
2 1/3 feet : 4 1/2 feet

Answer 1

Start by converting these two mixed numbers to improper fractions:

2 1/3 => 7/3, and 4 1/2 => 9/2.

Find the ratio of the first to the second and then reduce your result:

7

---

3

======

  9

-----

   2

                             7         2         14

which becomes ------ * ------- = ---------

                             3         9         27

This final result cannot be simplified further.

Answer 2

The ratio as the fraction in simplest form is $\frac{14}{27}$.

Given that,

• The mixed number is $2\frac{1}{3} i.e. \frac{7}{3}$.
• And, the other mixed number is $4\frac{1}{2} i.e. \frac{9}{2}$.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

$= \frac{7}{3} \div \frac{9}{2}\\\\= \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{2}{9} \\\\= \frac{14}{27}$

Therefore we can conclude that the ratio as the fraction in simplest form is $\frac{14}{27}$.
