days

1 answer

The ratio can be written as:

5 weeks : 21 days

To write it as a fraction, we need to convert either the weeks or days to the same unit of time. Let's convert everything to days:

5 weeks = 5 x 7 days = 35 days

So the ratio can be written as:

35 days : 21 days

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 7:

35 days ÷ 7 = 5 days
21 days ÷ 7 = 3 days

So the simplified ratio is:

5 : 3

Therefore, the ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units is 5/3.
