3.5: 5.5 is
You asked:
Simplify the ratio: \(3.5 : 5.5\)
MathBot Answer:
\(7 : 11\), \(\frac{7}{11}\), \(63.64\%\)
Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. \[\frac{7}{2}, \frac{11}{2} \]\[ \operatorname{lcm}(2, 2) = 2\]
Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. \[7 : 11\]
Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. \[\operatorname{gcd}(7, 11) = 1\]
And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. \[7 : 11\]
