Ratio Expression 2A963A
1. The problem asks to write the ratio $8w^2 : 6tw$ in the form $1 : n$ and express $n$ in terms of $t$ and $w$ in simplest form.
2. Recall that a ratio $a : b$ can be written as $1 : \frac{b}{a}$ by dividing both terms by $a$.
3. Apply this to the given ratio:
$$1 : \frac{6tw}{8w^2}$$
4. Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{6tw}{8w^2} = \frac{6t}{8w} = \frac{3t}{4w}$$
5. Therefore, the ratio in the form $1 : n$ is:
$$1 : \frac{3t}{4w}$$
6. So the expression for $n$ in simplest form is:
$$n = \frac{3t}{4w}$$
