Question

Write the ratio 8 to 5 in two other ways.

Short answer

The ratio $8\text{to5}$ in two other ways is given by $\frac{8}{5}\text{and8:5}$.

Step-by-step solution

. Given

The given ratio is 8 to 5.

. To determine

We have to express the given ratio in two other ways.

. Explanation

The ratio of two values, where b is not equal to 0, is expressed in three ways:

$atob,a:b,\frac{a}{b}$.

All of them are read as “the ratio of a to b”.

In the given problem a = 8 and b = 5, and it is given in the form ato b.

Hence the other two ways to express the ratio are $\frac{8}{5}\text{and8:5}$ .
