So we need to write the ratio 3.5 to 4 as a fraction in simplest form with whole numbers. The ratio is equal to:


(3.5)/(4)

We need to re-write 3.5 as a fraction of whole numbers. For example:


3.5=(7)/(2)

Then we have:


(3.5)/(4)=((7)/(2))/(4)=(7)/(2)\cdot(1)/(4)=(7\cdot1)/(2\cdot4)=(7)/(8)

We can simplify this fraction. Then the answer is:


(7)/(8)
