Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. 4.9 hr to 2.1 hr

Answer 1

The ratio as a fraction in simplest form is
`(7)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given two numbers 4.9 and 2.1 and we have to find the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator.

Ratio is a statement of how the two numbers compare.

`Ratio=(4.9hr)/(2.1hr)`

=
`(49* 10)/(21* 10)`

=
`(7* 7)/(3* 7)`

=
`(7)/(3)`

which is required fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We have to write 4.9 hr to 2.1 hr in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator.

Thus, Given:
`(4.9 hr)/(2.1 hr)`

1. Write the ratio as whole numbers

In order to write the ratio as whole numbers, we need to clear the decimals by simply multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 10.

=
`\frac{4.9{*}10}{2.1{*}10}=(49)/(21)`

2.Reduce the fraction to its simplest form

Reduce the fraction to the simplest form, thus we get

`(49)/(21)=(7)/(3)`

This answer means that the numerator and denominator of the given fraction
`(4.9 hr)/(2.1 hr)` are in a 7:3 ratio relationship with each other.
