: : I am having a problem with these simple ratios, they just dont make sense to me.

: : I know 1/4:1/3 = 3:4

: Rule: Get a common denominator, then "compare" numerators.
: So, 1/4:1/3 = 3/12:4/12 -> 3:4

: : Can someone explain how to find the most simple ratio out of the following:

: : 1 1/2:1 3/4 = ???

: Same routine, Jimmy.
: First, change the "mixed numbers" into fractions.

: 3/2:7/4 = 6/4:7/4 -> 6:7

TX for your help, Excelent!!!
