Ratios: I need to convert the ratio 3.7cm:7.3cm so that the ratio can be read as 1cm:?cm I can't remember how I would go about doing this. A little help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you can just divide both numbers by 3.7....

OpenStudy (followthefez):

Sure? Because I remember being taught something a bit more complicated than that. Like having to multiply by 100 or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He's correct. You can just divide the top and bottom by 3.7 to get a 1:? ratio.
