You asked:

Simplify the ratio: \(.6 : .05\)

MathBot Answer:

\(12 : 1\), \(\frac{12}{1}\), \(1200\%\)

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. \[\frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{20} \]\[ \operatorname{lcm}(5, 20) = 20\]

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. \[12 : 1\]

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. \[\operatorname{gcd}(12, 1) = 1\]

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. \[12 : 1\]
