Answer:
Change values to whole numbers.
Convert any decimal numbers to integers by multiplying both sides by 101 = 10 to eliminate all, 1, decimal places.
We then have:
2.00 : 1.50 = 20 : 15
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 20 and 15 is 5
Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:
20 ÷ 5 = 4
15 ÷ 5 = 3
The ratio 20 : 15 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :
20 : 15 = 4 : 3
Therefore:
2.00 : 1.50 = 4 : 3
