Question

Write the flowing comparison as a ratio reduced to lowest terms 35 days to 8 weeks

Answer 1

To answer this question we will use the following property of ratios:

`ab:cb=a:c.`

We know that:

`1week=7days.`

Therefore we can rewrite the given ratio as follows:

`35\text{ days to }8*7\text{ days.}`

Simplifying the above ratio we get:

`35:8*7.`

Now, notice that 35=5*7, then:

`35:8*7=5*7:8*7=5:8.`

The above ratio as a fraction is:

`(5)/(8).`

Answer:

`(5)/(8).`
