Problem
Which of the following is equal to ?
Solution
Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same value does not change the value of the fraction. We can multiply both by , getting .
Alternately, we can directly compute that the numerator is , the denominator is , and hence their ratio is \boxed{(C)\frac {1} {2}}.
