Explanation:
Convert the whole number 14 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.
We then have:
4/7 : 14 = 4/7 : 14/1
Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.
We now have:
4/7 : 14 = 4/7 : 98/7
Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 7 to eliminate the denominators.
We then have:
4/7 : 14 = 4 : 98
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 4 and 98 is 2
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
4 ÷ 2 = 2
98 ÷ 2 = 49
The ratio 4 : 98 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
4 : 98 = 2 : 49
Therefore:
4/7 : 14 = 2 : 49
