Question

Write (90 sec to 7 min) as a ratio in its simplest form​

Answer 1

1.5:7

Explanation:

To write an ratio, we need to understand what our problem is asking:

Given:

• 90 seconds to 7 minutes.

90 seconds to 7 minutes represents 1.5:7 as a ratio. (1.5 minutes to 7 minutes)

Simplifying a ratio means divide both sides by a whole number, there is no need to simplify this ratio, because the terms are already simplified to lowest terms.

Answer 2

3/14

Explanation:

60 sec = 1 min

so we have:

`(90 \: sec)/(7 \: min) = (90 \: sec)/(7 * 60 \: sec) = (90)/(420) = (9)/(42) = (3)/(14)`
