how am i gonna express the ratio in lowest terms of consonants to vowels in each name?

 example:

Fredericton       11 letters

 

vowels           e,e,i,o                  4 vowels

consonants   f, r, d , r, c, t, n     7 consonants

 

ratio of vowels to consonents is    4 : 7     

Sometimes this is written as a fraction  4/7

 

and 4/7 cannot be simplified.

Fredericton

 

7 consonants

4 vowels

 

So.....the ratio is :

 

7 / 4  

 

And that's in lowest terms
