@CuriousQuestions

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

I'M HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

try 60/4

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Write the ratio "4 to 60" as a fraction, as Curious has just suggested.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 divided by 4 is 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Next, reduce this fraction. Hint: What ist he largest number that will divide into both 4 and 60? Use this number to reduce "the ratio of 4 to 60."

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

Ok, well, that is a whole number, so it goes in evenly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what isn't the largest or what is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok you said it's a whole number so it goes equally

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i have to write in fraction form

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 15 would be the numerator but what would be the denomenator

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

so, since you did 60/4, do 4/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 15 over 1

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

other way around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 over 15

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

yup!

OpenStudy (curiousquestions):

good job!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
