Question

find the ratio of number if vowels in the word MISSISSIPPI to the number of consonants in the simplest form

Answer 1

Here is the answer:

Number of vowels in Mississippi: 4
Number of constants in Mississippi: 7

Ratio of vowels to constants =

$\frac{number \: of \: vowels}{number \: of \: constants}$
=
$\frac{4}{7}$

Since 4 and 7 do not have a common factor except 1, therefore they are in the simplest form.
hence the ratio of vowels to constants is 4:7
