Question 113550: Write each of the following ratios in simplest form: The ratio of 5 3/5 to 2 1/10.
My final answer is: 280/50
28/5 = 21/10 then i flip the second fraction to times the first one. 28/5 x 10/21 = 280/50
Is that the right way to do it?

You are very close, you just made a simple mistake. You multiplied the 5 by 10, when it should be 5*21;
%2828%2F5%29++%2810%2F21%29
280%2F105
Now you need to simplify;
The answer should come out to;
8%2F3+=+2%282%2F3%29
