Frequently asked questions
How do I simplify a ratio with decimals?
The calculator multiplies both sides by a power of 10 to remove the decimals, then divides by the GCD. For example, 2.5 : 10 becomes 25 : 100 and then 1 : 4.
How does solving a proportion work?
It uses cross-multiplication. Because A/B = C/D, it follows that A × D = B × C, so the missing value comes from multiplying and dividing the three known numbers.
