WRITE EACH RATIO OR RATE AS A FRACTION IN SIMPLEST FORM 5 7/8 TO 9 3/4

Question

CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS FRACTION PROBLEM

Answer 1

first, we turn both mixed numbers into improper fractions:

 

5 7/8  ----------->47/8

 

9 3/4 -------------> 39/4

 

LCD is 8:

 

47/8 stays the same because it already has a denominator of 8.

 

39/4  ----------> 78/8

 

so,

 

47/8:78/8

 

multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the denominator "8"

 

so,

 

47:78
