Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio indicates the relative sizes of two or more values. It implies how many times one number contains another. It is represented in three different ways. It can be in a colon form (a:b), fraction form (a/b) and word form (to).
Going back to the problem above, you have to find the ratio of 6 weeks to 12 days. Notice that the given values have different units, weeks and days. Thus, you have to make them similar first by converting weeks to days.
Since there are 7 days in a week, multiply the number of weeks by 7 to get 42. Now, the ratio of 6 weeks to 12 days is 42:12. As you can notice, you can still simplify them as they still have a common factor which is 6. Divide both values by 6.
42 ÷ 6 : 12 ÷ 6 = 7:2
