Question

Rewrite the ratio 15:42 as an equivalent ration in the form 1:n

Answer 1

1 : 2.8

To begin, you are going to divide 42 from 15, meaning it will look like 42/15. This is because you are looking for the 1 : n ratio, which means you are dividing both sides by the left side's number (15). After you divide, you are going to get 2.8. Now, the ratio will become 1: 2.8. To prove that this is correct, multiply both sides by 15 to get the original ratio.
