Question

Express the ratio $\frac{3}{4}:\frac{5}{6}$ as the ratio of integers in the lowest form.

Answer 1

To convert the given ratios as the ratio of integers in lowest form , first take the LCM of their denominators and multiply both the ratios with it .

LCM$(4,6)=12$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{3}{4}\times 12:\frac{5}{6}\times 12 \\ =3\times 3:5\times 2 \\ =9:10 \end{gathered}$$

So, the required ratio of integers in the lowest form is $9:10$
