Simplify the ratio: 1.5:201.5 : 20

MathBot Answer:

3:403 : 40, 340\frac{3}{40}, 7.50%7.50\%

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. 32,201\frac{3}{2}, \frac{20}{1} lcm(2,1)=2 \operatorname{lcm}(2, 1) = 2

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. 3:403 : 40

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. gcd(3,40)=1\operatorname{gcd}(3, 40) = 1

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. 3:403 : 40
