Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. 9.2 to 2.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert the ratio of 9.2 to 2.3 into a fraction in simplest form, start by expressing both numbers as fractions. The ratio can be written as: 9.22.3\\frac{9.2}{2.3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To eliminate the decimals, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10. This will shift the decimal point one place to the right for both numbers: 9.2\u00d7102.3\u00d710=9223\\frac{9.2 \\times 10}{2.3 \\times 10} = \\frac{92}{23}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 92 and 23. Since 23 is a factor of 92 (because 92 \u00f7 23 = 4), divide both the numerator and the denominator by 23: 9223=92\u00f72323\u00f723=41\\frac{92}{23} = \\frac{92 \u00f7 23}{23 \u00f7 23} = \\frac{4}{1}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the simplified fraction is: 41\\frac{4}{1}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the ratio of 9.2 to 2.3 in simplest form is 4:1<\/strong> or simply 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/strong>: The steps followed are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Convert the ratio to a fraction by dividing 9.2 by 2.3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Eliminate the decimals by multiplying both terms by 10.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 23.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The simplified result is 4, meaning the ratio is 4:1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The process is straightforward, focusing on eliminating decimals and simplifying the resulting fraction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
