Question

Write each of these ratios in lowest terms using a colon 3.0 to 1.2​

Answer 1

To write the ratio 3.0 to 1.2 in lowest terms using a colon, we need to divide both numbers by their greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 3.0 and 1.2 is 0.6, since:

3.0 = 5(0.6)

1.2 = 2(0.6)

Dividing both numbers by 0.6, we get:

3.0/0.6 = 5

1.2/0.6 = 2

Therefore, the ratio 3.0 to 1.2 in lowest terms using a colon is:

5:2
