Write the following comparison as a ratio reduced to lowest terms 106 minutes to 5 hours

Answer 1

106 minutes/ 5 hours =

1.hour & 46 minutes / 5 hours =

1 46/60 / 5 hours =

106/60 hours/ 5 hours =

53/30 / 5 hours =

53/150 =

53 minutes/150 minutes

ratio of 53 to 150 is the lowest integers possible

53 x 2 = 106 minutes = 106/60 = 53/30 hours

150 x 2 = 300 minutes = 5 hours

If you try to make a ratio of hours to hours you get

1.7666...hours/5 hours or

53/30 hours/5 hours =

53 hours/150 hours

53/150 is the ratio of minutes to minutes or hours to hours,

with lowest integers.

53 is prime, divisible only by itself and 1

150 = 5x5x 3x2

53 can't be divided evenly by 5,3 or 2, without a remainder

106/60 could be reduced to 53/30

53/30/5 is the same as 53/30 x 1/5 = 53/150

IF you want a ratio of minutes to hours, 106/5 is as low as it gets
