Question

Write the ratio 4.5: 2.25 in the from n:1

Answer 1

The original ratio is given to be:

`4.5\colon2.25`

The question asks to write the ratio in the form:

`n\colon1`

This means that we have to divide both sides of the ratio by the 2nd ratio (2.25). This is because we have the 2nd part of the ratio n:1 to be 1. This will give us the new ratio.

Therefore, the new ratio can be calculated to be:

`\begin{gathered} (4.5)/(2.25)\colon(2.25)/(2.25) \\ 2\colon1 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the new ratio in the form of n : 1 is given to be:

`\Rightarrow2\colon1`
