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]
