OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the shortest side and what is the longest side? Divide the shortest by the longest for the ratio.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because they want the fraction to be simplified, you have to multiply both parts by 10 first then you can reduce

OpenStudy (anonymous):

204 and 78 do i divide them by 2 after? cause their even numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if so it would be 104 and 39

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you reduced that incorrectly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did i do wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

204 divide by 2 is not 104

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

divided*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 102

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do the numbers 39 and 102 have any factors (other than 1) in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

divide each by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 and 34

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so 78/204 = 13/34

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this means 7.8/20.4 = 13/34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do now/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

thats it, we're done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you:)
