write a ratio, in simplest form, that compares two quantities(show your work) 3 years to 6 months
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: The ratio is 6 : 1
Explanation: To find the ratio, we first need to make the units consistent. I will convert all units to "months"
we know that one year has 12 months, therefore: 3 years = 3 * 12 = 36 months 6 months is simply equal to 6 months
Now, to get the ratio, we will simply divide the two quantities and simplify as follows: 36 months to 6 months = [tex] \frac{36 months}{6months} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{36}{6} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{6}{1} [/tex]
