16:9 as a fraction, equates to 1.777:1 as a decimal
47:20 as a fraction, equates to 2.35:1 as a decimal
37:20 as a fraction, equates to 2.40:1 as a decimal

All the above (fractions and decimals), represent the original movies aspect ratio. Which can be found on the back of the original DVD case


Cheers
