Question

What is the ratio of 50 cents to $1.20 (in simplest form)?

Answer 1

5:12

Explanation:

$1.20 = (1x100 + 20) cents = 120 cents

You get a ratio of 50:120.

Since both are divisible by 10, divide both sides by 10.

You get 5:12.

Since 5 and 12 share no common factors other than 1, this is the simplest form.
