You asked:

Simplify the ratio: \(2.5 : 4.5\)

MathBot Answer:

\(5 : 9\), \(\frac{5}{9}\), \(55.56\%\)

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. \[\frac{5}{2}, \frac{9}{2} \]\[ \operatorname{lcm}(2, 2) = 2\]

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. \[5 : 9\]

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. \[\operatorname{gcd}(5, 9) = 1\]

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. \[5 : 9\]
