Answer 1

Given:

(1) The height of Douglas is 1.84m

(2) The height of Seb is  1.7m

To find:

(1) The height of Douglas as a fraction of the height of Seb

(2) Representing the fraction in simplest form.

Answer:

Let us represent the fraction showing the height of Douglas to Seb.

The fraction is = $\frac{Height of Douglas}{Height of Seb}$

= $\frac{1.84}{1.7}$

To get the fraction in simplest form, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100, we get,

= $\frac{184}{170}$

= $\frac{92}{85}$                       [Dividing both numerator and denominator by 2]

So, the simplest form representation is $\frac{92}{85}$.
