Write the ratio as a whole numbers in the lowest terms $0.60 to 0.40
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

0.6%2F0.40 = 6%2F4,  or  3%2F2,  or 1.5.


Comment from student: Ok, will do that how did. You get the answer because when i divided 0.60/0.40 I get 1.5?
So how will you solve the one 0.80 to 2.00? 

My response: 1. I got the answer not because you did something.
                I got the answer because I know how to do it.

             2. 0.80%2F2.00 = 80%2F200 = 2%2F5.
