Question

What Ratio is equivalent to 30/45?

Answer 1

`2/3`

Explanation:

The ratio `30/45` is not in simplest terms (meaning the numerator and denominator have nothing in common), so to find a ratio equivalent, you must reduce the fraction.

So first, you must think to yourself, what do `30` and `45` have in common? Since they both have `5` in common, you would need to divide `30` by `5`, and `45` by `5`.

`(30-:5)/(45-:5)`

You are left with the fraction or ration `6/9`, which is equivalent to `30/45`. However, this can be reduced even more, since `6` and `9` both are divisible by `3`.

`(6-:3)/(9-:3)`

Now, your final answer is `2/3`
