Question

Yvette exercises 14 days out of 30 in one month. What is the ratio of the number of days she exercises to the number of days in the month? Simplify the ratio.

Answer 1

divide both numbers by 14.. the ans is 1: 2

Answer 2

7 to 15, 7:15, 7/15

Explanation:

Ratios can be written as:

a to b

a:b

a/b

We want to find the ratio of exercise days to days in the month. She exercises 14 days out of 30 days in the month. Therefore,

a= 14

b= 30

14 to 30

14:30

14/30

The ratios can be simplified. Both numbers can be evenly divided by 2.

(14/2) to (30/2)

7 to 15

(14/2) : (30/2)

7:15

(14/2) / (30/2)

7/15
