Here we will show you how to convert the ratio 6:7 to a fraction. In other words, we will convert the ratio of 6:7 to a fraction with a numerator and a denominator.

There is actually more than one answer to this problem, depending on what kind of ratio it is. 6:7 can either be a Part-to-Part ratio or a Part-to-Whole ratio. We will describe and convert both types of ratios to fractions.



Part-to-Part

A part-to-part ratio is the most common form of ratio. If the ratio 6:7 is a part-to-part ratio, it means that there are 6 of something and 7 of something else with a total of 13.

To convert a part-to-part ratio such as 6:7 as a fraction, you make the left side of the colon the numerator and the total the denominator:

6:7 → 6/13

Since there are 7 of something else, you can also make another fraction where the right side of the colon is the numerator and once again the total is the denominator:

6:7 → 7/13


Part-to-Whole

A part-to-whole ratio of 6:7 means that there are 6 of something and the total is 7. It also means that there is 1 of something else. To convert a Part-to-Whole ratio such as 6:7, you replace the colon with a fraction bar to get this answer:

6:7 → 6/7

Since there is 1 of something else and still the total of 7, you can also make a 2nd fraction like this:

6:7 → 1/7
