Answer:

Answer: a 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios as Fractions

The ratio 3:5 can be expressed as the fraction

$\frac{3}{5}$

If we wanted to express the ratio in the form 1:n, we can manipulate the fraction in such a way that it has the number 1 in the numerator.

Dividing numerator and denominator by 3:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{3}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{5}{3}}$

Thus, the fraction represents the ratio:

$1:(\frac{5}{3})$

$Thus, n=\frac{5}{3}$

Answer: a 5/3
