Math Problem Solver

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. $$5 : 9$$
