Question

Enter the ratio as a fraction in lowest terms (no decimals).10.4 hours to 0.4 hours

Answer 1

To write the ratio as a fraction in lowest terms (no decimals):

10.4 hours to 0.4 hours.

In ratio, we can write it as

10.4 : 0.4

Multiply 10 on both sides we get,

104 : 4

That is, in fraction form

$\begin{gathered} \frac{104}{4}=\frac{52}{2} \\ =\frac{26}{1} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the fraction form in lowest terms is,

$\frac{26}{1}$
