Question

Express the ratio below in its simplest form. 1 3 : 1 2

Answer 1

You can write any ratio as a fraction so 1/3:1/2 can be re-written as
`(1/3)/(1/2)` so you need to simplify the complex fraction to find the ratio

`(1)/(3) * (2)/(1)` - Invert the denominator and multiply to find the ratio
2/3 - the answer
2:3 - convert back to a ratio
