Answer:

The rational form of the ratio 2:3 is 2/5

Explanation:

For those of us who don't know or don't remember what rational means, it just means fraction, and in this case is asking as to convert ratio 2:3 into a fraction.

-First thing is to add the ratio:

2+3=5

-Now, we are going to place 5 as the denominator of the fraction, and we are going to keep the 2 from the ratio (it will always be the first number of our ratio, for example, if the ratio is 6:1 we'd be keeping the 6), and place it on the numerator place:

2:3 = 2/5

-So, that would be pretty much it, by the way, I know that the question was upgraded, but I don't mind to have 5 points more.
