jdoe0001 · Answer

same as before, you'd do a ratio of one item to the other
$\bf \cfrac{\cancel{0.22}g}{\cancel{4.4}mL}=\cfrac{?}{?}$

anonymous · Answer

0.05

jdoe0001 · Answer

well.. you'd want to keep it as fraction though
but 0.05 is correct, decimal wise

anonymous · Answer

how would you put 0.05 as a fraction

jdoe0001 · Answer

hmmm anyhow    $\bf
0.\underline{05}\implies \cfrac{005}{1\underline{00}}\implies \cfrac{?}{?}$

notice, to make it a fraction, you'd use in the denominator, as many zeros as there are decimals
and the numerator loses the "dot"
then simplify
