Express each ratio as a fraction in simplest form. . 12 : 36

Answered by maham237 @



To convert a ratio to a fraction, we just make the first number in the ratio the numerator and the second number in the ratio the denominator.

12 : 36 = 12/36

When simplifying fractions, you find factors that the numerator and denominators share, and then divide both by this factor.

The numbers 12 and 36 both share a factor of 12. Thus, to simplify 12/36, we should divide it by 12/12.

12/36 ÷ 12/12 = 1/3

Therefore, the ratio 12 : 36 as a fraction in simplest form is 1/3.

Hope this helps!
