You asked:

Simplify the ratio: 6:1.26 : 1.2

MathBot Answer:

5:15 : 1, 51\frac{5}{1}, 500%500\%

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. 61,65\frac{6}{1}, \frac{6}{5} lcm(1,5)=5 \operatorname{lcm}(1, 5) = 5

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. 30:630 : 6

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. gcd(30,6)=6\operatorname{gcd}(30, 6) = 6

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. 5:15 : 1
