If you followed the formula I provided you would be able to work it out....

Code:
MAR   FAR                             ARS 
4     480     1920                    10
-  x  ---  =  ----  lowest dominator  --  Giving an ARS value of 10:11
3     704     2112                    11
I'm presuming the source is intended to be displayed at 4:3?
