Question

Express the given ratios in its simplest form:
$6month:1\frac{1}{3}years$

Answer 1

6 months: $ 1 \frac {1}{3} years

$

We know that

1 year = 12 months

We get= $6months:\frac{4}{3}\times 12months$

It can be written as

$=6months:16months$

= 6/ 16

Here the HCF of 6 and 16 is 2

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 2

$=\frac{(6÷2)}{(16÷2)}$

So we get

$=3/8$

$=3:8$
