Question

express each ratio in the simplest form :- 3/2:9/2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a ratio?

The method of comparing two quantities of the same kind and in the same units by division is known as a ratio.

• The symbol to denote the ratio is :

If a and b are two quantities, they can be expressed as a : b.

Here, a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.

• Ratio has no units.

• It can be expressed as a fraction. 2 : 3 can be expressed as 2/3.

• The two quantities that are compared should be of the same kind. 3 liters and 2 grams cannot be compared.

• The two quantities must have the same units. The ratio between 10 g and 15 g is 10 : 15.

• The ratio must be expressed in the simplest form. 3 : 9 can be expressed as 1 : 3.
