Answer 1

To express the ratio of 50 minutes to 70 minutes as a fraction in lowest terms, we start by writing it as:

\[
\frac{50}{70}
\]

Next, we simplify this fraction. Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 10.

Dividing both by 10:

\[
\frac{50 \div 10}{70 \div 10} = \frac{5}{7}
\]

Thus, the simplified fraction is:

\[
\frac{5}{7}
\]

So, 50 minutes to 70 minutes is

\(\frac{5}{7}\).
