Express each ratio as a fraction in the simplest form. i dont understand.

1) 8 dimes/11 dimes

2) 1ft/3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I help with a couple, then hopefully you can do the rest by yourself.

1) 24 dimes to 33 dimes

Basically, what the question is asking, is for you to turn this into a fraction and simplify it. Let's take an easier number: 1/2. What would this be if it were a ratio? 1 to 2. So using this concept, lets change 24 dimes to 33 dimes to a fraction.

You would get 24 dimes/33 dimes, which can be simplified to 8 dimes/11 dimes by pulling a factor of 3 out of both the numerator and denominator

2) 4 ft out of 12 ft

Let's use the same concept and change this into a fraction:

4ft/12ft, then we can pul a factor of 4 out from both the numerator and the denominator to get 1ft/3ft
