Answer:
[tex]2/7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ratio is 1 to 3 1/2
we can also express it as 1 : 3 1/2
Notice that there is a mixed fraction, let us convert it to a fraction
[tex]3\frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Hence the ratio is
[tex]1:\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
We can further reduce the above ratio as
[tex]=\frac{1}{\frac{7}{2} } \\\\=1*\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
As a reduced fraction it is
= [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
