You asked:

Simplify the ratio: \(3 : 0.5\)

MathBot Answer:

\(6 : 1\), \(\frac{6}{1}\), \(600\%\)

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

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. \[6 : 1\]

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. \[\operatorname{gcd}(6, 1) = 1\]

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. \[6 : 1\]
