The expression \( 45:6 \) represents a ratio. To simplify it, you can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 45 and 6 is 3.
Now, divide both numbers by 3:
\[ \frac{45}{3} : \frac{6}{3} = 15 : 2 \]
So, \( 45:6 \) simplifies to \( 15:2 \).
If you are looking for the decimal form, it equals \( 7.5 \).
