Would a ratio be considered the scale????

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

i suppose so...

OpenStudy (arabpride):

well then it would be: 18;32 reduced to: 9;16

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

cant 9:16 be reduced to 3:4?

OpenStudy (arabpride):

no, because these numbers have to be reduced by the same number, but u reduced 9 by 3 and 16 by 4, so that would'nt work..

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

oh ok
