Let us see some problems on ratio to fraction convertor.

Problems on Ratio to Fraction Converter :

Problem 1:

Convert the ratio 45 : 180 into simplified fraction

Solution:

Given,The ratio 45 : 180

We need to convert the given ratio into fraction .

we know that 45 : 180 = ` 45/ 180`

Divided by  45 on both numerator and denominator,

`45/180` = `( 45 / 45 ) / ( 180 / 180 )`

= `1 / 4`

Answer: The simplified fraction of the given fraction is  `1/4` .


Problem 2:

In a bag, there is Blue  and Green balls, the ratio of Blue balls to Green balls is 5:6. If the bag contains 180 Blue balls, how many green balls are there?

Solution:

Given The ratio of the Blue and green balls = 5 : 6

Number of blue balls = 180

Let us take x = green balls

To find the green balls we need to convert the given ratio into fraction,

Write the items in the ratio as a fraction.

`(blue) / (green)` = `5/6` = `x / 180`

`5/6` = `x / 180`

Multiply by 6 on both sides,

5 = `x / 180 `

5 = `x / 30`

Now multiply by 30 on both sides,

5 * 30 = x

150 = x

x = 150

Total number of black balls = 150

Answer: Green balls = 150
