Question

Write the given ratio in the simplest form: $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

Finding the simplest form of given ratio

The given ratio is $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$

Now, taking the LCM of denominators, we have

$LCM(2,3,4)=12$

Multiplying the numerators by $12$, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times 12:\frac{1}{3}\times 12:\frac{1}{4}\times 12 \\ =6:4:3 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the given ratio in the simplest form is $6:4:3$
