B. 3 TO 7

Answer 1

it is 36 by 48 right?

we can write this as 36/48

big fraction huh? simplify it

what is the simplified version of that?

Answer 2

im soooooo confused!!!

Answer 3

which step?

well lets see...if we say the ratio of 2 to 4....we can write that as 2/4 right? then we just simplify that fraction...what number can go into both the top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) evenly? in this example...2...so it would simplify to 1/2....also written as 1 to 2

in YOUR example....36/48

what number goes into both of these numbers evenly? 12 does right?

36/12 is 3
48/12 is 4 right

so we have 3/4

also written as 3 to 4

Answer 4

Express it as a fraction: 36/48 but use a colon: 36:48

Now reduce that fraction to it's lowest terms and you have your answer.
