Question

Express the ratio below in its simplest form.
1.5:1

Answer 1

The ratio is already in simplest form and can’t be further simplified

Answer 2

Given:

We have a ratio which is 1.5:1

To Find:

Find the simplest form?

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have a ratio which is 1.5:1

• For converting the given ratio to the simplest form first of all we will e remove the point in the numerator term.
• We know we can remove the point in the numerator term by just multiplying the denominator by 10.

        $\frac{1.5}{1}=\frac{15}{10}$

• Now we will divide both numerator and denominator by the HCF of the numerator are denominator.
• HCF of  15 and 10 is 5.
• Thus dividing the fraction by 5 we will get.

       $\frac{15}{10} =\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, the simplest form of ratio is $\frac{3}{2}$.
