simplify ratio 4.5 to 9

OpenStudy (oaktree):

1/2

OpenStudy (oaktree):

It's 1/2, not 2. 2 would be 9 to 4.5

Parth (parthkohli):

Oops... I answer sniped :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write 4.5 as 45/10 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should have (45/10)/(9)

Parth (parthkohli):

\[{4.5 \over 9} = \cdots\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then write (45/10)*(1/9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you'll see that 9 divides 45 by 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you're left with 5/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then simplify 5/10=1/2
