Answer 1

Answer:

1 (a) 18:27

=18÷27

Then divide both side by 3 because the smallest number which can be divided by 18 and 27 is 3..

So , when we divide by 3 to both side the results is 6:9

Again divide 6 and 9 by 3 , because the smallest number which can be divided by 6 and 9 is 3..

So, again when we divide by 3 to both side the results is 2:3

Now, 2:3 is can't divide through any same numder

Therefore, the smallest form of 18:27 is 2:3

So, the ans is 2:3
