ratio in the lowest terms $19.36 to $9.52...simplify type fraction

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

'To' always stands as a ":" sign or "/" sign in between the numbers.

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Therefore, putting it all together, we conclude to: 19.36/9.52 You have to now simplify it, its quite more challenging than the normal ones, but give it a wild try

Directrix (directrix):

19.36 * 100 = 1936 9.52 *100 = 952

OpenStudy (anonymous):

952 is not a fraction..o im so lost

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

When you multiply the fraction by 100, you get rid of the decimals. Directrix just demonstrated it

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

You then put it all together to get: 1936/952 and then simplify

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Try it, and let me know what you conclude as you answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to simplify i divide the two?

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Thats a start :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i came up with 1.47

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

*Divide by 2 so: \[1936\div 2 and 952 \div 2\]

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

The concluding answers will go above in the numerator for 1936/2 and 952/2 in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

968/476?

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Now is that divisible by 2 again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Now your on a roll! Simplify it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

238/484

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Is that divisible by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

119/238

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

That'd be the concluding! (since 119 does not seem to simplify any further)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg ty you have helped me understand some ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its said that was wrong

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Ah let me check your math once more

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Hmm its supposed to be 484/238

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

If you divide that by two you get: 242/119
