This is written as a fraction: 329 to 967= 329:967=329/967.

.6 to .7=.6:.7=.6/.7 or 6/7.

10.5 to 43.25= 10.5:43.25=10.5/43.25.

atta	The fraction notation for the following ratios are as follows: 329 to 967 = 329/967 0.6 to 0.7 = 0.6 / 0.7 = 3/5 / 7/10 = 3/5 * (10/7) = 6/7 10 1/2 to 43 1/4 = 10 1/2 / 43 1/4. J.C Posted 161 day ago ( 0 ) ( 0 ) Report Abuse

First, let's talk about what the word "to" mean in this context.
Let's pretend we're talking about apples and let's say you have a bucket of apples and there are 3 green apples for every group of 8 apples.
The ratio of green apples to the total number of apples is 3 to 8 and the fraction that represents how many green apples there are in the bucket is 3/8. So if you have 80 apples in the bucket then 30 of them are green (multiply 3/8 * 80)

So the fractional representation of 329 to 967 is simply 329/967

The others are only slightly more complicated. You have multiply .6 *10 and .7 *10 to get the whole numbers 6 and 7. Now your ratio is 6 to 7 and your fraction is 6/7

For the last one you have to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

10 1/2 = 11/2
43 1/4 = 173/4

Your new ratio is 11/2 to 173/4
Your fraction is going to be 11/2 / 173/4 = 11*4/173*2 = 44/346
If you don't understand that last step, ask your teacher or someone to help you.
It's very difficult to explain in this format.

The first in easy without simpliying 329/967

The second 0.6/0.7 we can multiply the top and bottom by ten for 6/7

The third is a little trickier.

We might try putting it in decimal form for 10.5/43.25 and multiply top and bottom by 100 for
1050/4325 if we wanted to we can divide top and bottom by 5 for 210/865 It looks like we could divded by 5 again for 42/173

You could also divide 10 1/2 by 43 1/4 = (21)/2 / (173)/4 = (21)/2 X 4(173) = 42/173

329 to 967

That's the same as 329/967= .34

.6 to .7 is the same as saying .6/.7 = .86

10 1/2 = 10.5
43 1/4 = 43.25

This ratio can be expressed as 10.5/43.25 = .24
