Enter a fraction to quickly convert it into ratio form, with support for mixed numbers.
A fraction represents a part of a whole, typically expressed as \( \frac{a}{b} \), where \( a \) is the numerator (the part), and \( b \) is the denominator (the whole). Fractions describe the relationship between the part and the whole. A mixed number is a number that includes both a whole part and a fractional part, such as \( 1\frac{3}{4} \).
Converting a fraction (including mixed numbers) to a ratio is a simple process. Here are the detailed steps:
Solution:
1. Write the fraction as a ratio:
\( \frac{5}{8} = 5:8 \)
2. Write the fraction as a ratio:
\( 5:8 \text{ is already in its simplest form.} \)
Result: The fraction \( \frac{5}{8} \) converts to the ratio \( 5:8 \).
Solution:
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\( 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \)
2. Write the fraction as a ratio:
\( \frac{9}{4} = 9:4 \)
Result: The mixed number \( 2\frac{1}{4} \) converts to the ratio \( 9:4 \).
Solution:
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\( 1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \)
2. Write the fraction as a ratio:
\( \frac{5}{3} = 5:3 \)
Result: The mixed number \( 1\frac{2}{3} \) converts to the ratio \( 5:3 \).
