Answer:
9:4
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe you meant:
7 1/2 in
-------------
3 1/3 in
Rewriting both mixed numbers as improper fractions, we get:
15
------
2
==========
10
-------
3
Remember: to divide by a fraction (such as 10/3 here), invert the divisor fraction and multiply instead:
15 3 (3)(3)
------- * ------ = --------- = 9/4 or 9:4 (this is a ratio expressed in lowest terms)
2 10 (2)(2)
