Hey there! I'm happy to help!

With ratios, you can usually just put the first number as the numerator and the second as the denominator, which would give us 12.6/9, but having decimals isn't always very pretty with a fraction.

So, what we can do is multiply both numbers by 10. The ratio will stay the same and we won't have a decimal in our fraction anymore. We will also be able to simplify it as well.

If we do that, we now have 126/90. 126/90 is equal to 1.4. This means we can simplify the top and bottom by 9, giving us 14/10, which simplifies to 7/5 or 1 2/5.

Have a wonderful day! :D
