Question

what does it mean when the directions say write as a ratio of whole numbers in lowest terms???????????

Answer 1

It means simplify the fraction. So the lowest term of 5/10 is 1/2

Answer 2

oh ok how did u figure that out?

Answer 3

If you mean the term "lowest term" i know because its just a synonym. If you mean how do I know its one half, you divide both numbers by something they have in common. The biggest number 10 and 5 have in common is 5. So 5/5 = 1 and 10/5 = 2

Answer 4

ooo

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

what if it says 1. 32 to 104

Answer 7

same direction

Answer 8

?

Answer 9

I don't think that one can be simplified. So the answer would be the same

Answer 10

ohh how do u no that??

Answer 11

the greatest common factor between 1.32 and 104 is 1. And if you divided both numbers by 1, you would still get the same two numbers. That's how I was taught but I think your directions might have to do with something else.

Answer 12

ohhhhhh

Answer 13

number 1

Answer 14

Actually nevermind I thought you said 1.32 not 32
The greatest number you can divide both 32 and 104 by is 8
32/8 = 4
104/8 = 13
So your answer is 4/13

Answer 15

kk

Answer 16

4 1/2 cups for 2 dozen

Answer 17

watabout this?

Answer 18

That one is a bit difficult because you have to convert either cups or dozens to the other one which I don't know a conversion factor for you might want to ask that in a separate question.
