To solve the ratios given in your question, we will simplify each ratio. ### 1. \( \frac{5}{4} : \frac{2}{17} \) To express this ratio as a single fraction, we can rewrite it as: \[ \frac{5}{4} \div \frac{2}{17} = \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{17}{2} = \frac{5 \times 17}{4 \times 2} = \frac{85}{8} \] This simplifies to \( 85 : 8 \). ### 2. \( \frac{64}{125} : 4 \) We can express this as: \[ \frac{64}{125} \div 4 = \frac{64}{125} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{64}{125} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{64}{500} \] This fraction simplifies to \( \frac{16}{125} \) or \( 16 : 125 \). ### 3. \( 9 : \frac{3}{4} \) Expressed as a single fraction: \[ 9 \div \frac{3}{4} = 9 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{36}{3} = 12 \] Thus, the ratio simplifies to \( 12 : 1 \). ### 4. \( 9 : 4 \) This is already in simplest form, and we can write it as: \[ 9 : 4 \] ### 5. \( 1 \frac{3}{7} : 1 \frac{1}{14} \) We convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: \[ 1 \frac{3}{7} = \frac{10}{7}, \quad 1 \frac{1}{14} = \frac{15}{14} \] Thus, we can express the ratio as: \[ \frac{10}{7} \div \frac{15}{14} = \frac{10}{7} \times \frac{14}{15} = \frac{10 \times 14}{7 \times 15} = \frac{140}{105} \] This fraction simplifies to \( \frac{4}{3} \), or \( 4 : 3 \). ### 6. \( 3 \frac{8}{19} : 5 \frac{15}{38} \) Again, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions: \[ 3 \frac{8}{19} = \frac{65}{19}, \quad 5 \frac{15}{38} = \frac{155}{38} \] Thus, the ratio becomes: \[ \frac{65}{19} \div \frac{155}{38} = \frac{65}{19} \times \frac{38}{155} = \frac{65 \times 38}{19 \times 155} \] Now, simplifying: 1. \( 65 = 5 \times 13 \) 2. \( 155 = 5 \times 31 \) This leads to cancellation of 5 in the numerator and denominator: \[ \frac{13 \times 38}{19 \times 31} = \frac{494}{589} \] Thus, the original ratio can be expressed as \( \frac{494}{589} \) or approximately \( 1 : 1.2 \) after simplifying. To summarize the simple ratios: 1. \( 85 : 8 \) 2. \( 16 : 125 \) 3. \( 12 : 1 \) 4. \( 9 : 4 \) 5. \( 4 : 3 \) 6. \( \frac{494}{589} \) (approximately \( 1 : 1.2 \)) Make sure to check each simplification for accuracy!
