In one month, Jillian made 36 local phone calls and 20 long distance calls. What was her ratio of local calls to long distance calls for that month?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

\[\frac{ 36 }{ 20 }\]

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

=?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

To get a ratio of a fraction you need to simplify the fraction then take the numerator as your first number and take your denominator and make it your second number!

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

A. 9 : 5 B. 2 : 1 C. 3 : 2 D. 9 : 4

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

those are the answer

OpenStudy (1sttime4everything):

@aziaboo45 people in OS are not here to give direct answers, they can help you find the answer but they will not give you the answer, thats what you have to find out

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

shut up

OpenStudy (1sttime4everything):

Do you want to get suspended?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify 36/20

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

@1stTime4Everything Stop giving out threats when you have no power...

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

no but why would do that

OpenStudy (1sttime4everything):

I am not making threats, i know i dont have any power, but i still follow the code of conduct

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Yes, but you're not helping anyone out..

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

You are just running around telling people that they will get suspended

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

@aziaboo45 Has done nothing wrong

OpenStudy (1sttime4everything):

I don't help out, well i do its just i only make sure everyone is doing what they are suppose to be doing

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (1sttime4everything):

I am not telling you that you are getting suspended, if you dont follow the code of conduct thats how you get suspended

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Ugh... -.-

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

sorry but your not my mom and i know what i am soposed to be doing lol

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

the ratio is 36/20 (or 36:20) however, we can simplify it. (the same way you simplify a fraction) for example, both the top and bottom are even, so you could divide both by 2 you would get 18/10 (because 36/2 is 18 and 20/2 is 10) but we can simplify even more. divide top and bottom by 2. what do you get ?

OpenStudy (ineedhelplz):

Did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (aziaboo45):

yeah thank you
