You asked:

Simplify the ratio: \(3.2 : 56\)

MathBot Answer:

\(2 : 35\), \(\frac{2}{35}\), \(5.71\%\)

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. \[\frac{16}{5}, \frac{56}{1} \]\[ \operatorname{lcm}(5, 1) = 5\]

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. \[16 : 280\]

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. \[\operatorname{gcd}(16, 280) = 8\]

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. \[2 : 35\]
