So we need to write the ratio 3.5 to 4 as a fraction in simplest form with whole numbers. The ratio is equal to:
[tex]\frac{3.5}{4}[/tex]We need to re-write 3.5 as a fraction of whole numbers. For example:
[tex]3.5=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]Then we have:
[tex]\frac{3.5}{4}=\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{4}=\frac{7}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7\cdot1}{2\cdot4}=\frac{7}{8}[/tex]We can simplify this fraction. Then the answer is:
[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
