Question

write the ratio as a ratio of whole numbers in lowest terms $0.20 to $0.30

Answer 1

First, write the ratio as a fraction:

$\frac{0.2}{0.3}$

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 10:

$\frac{0.2}{0.3}=\frac{0.2\cdot10}{0.3\cdot10}=\frac{2}{3}$

Since both 2 and 3 are whole numbers and they don't have common factors, that's the ratio in its lowest terms.

Therefore, the answer is:

$\frac{2}{3}$
