Simplify ratios and solve proportions — step by step.

Ratio

Answer

-1/1, 3/1

To find a common denominator for -1, 3, follow the step-by-step solution below.

Step 1 — Find the least common denominator (LCD)

The denominators are 1, 1. Find the smallest number they all divide into evenly:

LCD(1, 1) = 1

Step 2 — Rewrite each fraction

Multiply each fraction by a form of 1 so all denominators equal 1:

-1 already has denominator 1

3 already has denominator 1

-11, 31
