Question

write this ratio as a fraction in lowest terms $11.16 to $8.96 (simplify the answer.Type a fraction) really need help!!!!!!!!! now

Answer 1

$11.16 and $8.96

 

11.16 = 11 + 16/100

= (11x100)/100 + 16/100

= (1100 + 16)/100

= 1116/100

 

8.96 = 8 + 96/100

= (8x100)/100 + 96/100

= (800 + 96)/100

= 896/100

 

So this ratio as a fraction is:

(1116/100) / (896/100)

 

Which is the same as:

(1116/100) x (100/896) = 1116/896

 

And this simplified is:

279/224
