Answer 2

Answer:

Required simplest form is 7:5:12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,$56:120:72$

We want to simplify.

This is a problem of Ratio and Proportion.

By chapter of Ratio and Proportion,we know

$x:y = \frac{x}{y}$

By some examples we can easily understand this concept.

Example 1:

$1:4 = \frac{1}{4}$

Example 2:

$4:16 = \frac{4}{16} = \frac{4}{4 \times 4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Now here given,

$56:120:72$

So,

$56:120:72 = \frac{56}{120} :72 = \frac{2 \times 2 \times 7}{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5} :72 = \frac{7}{2 \times 3 \times 5} :72 = \frac{7}{30} :72$

Now,

$\frac{7}{30} :72 = 7:30:72 = 7: \frac{30}{72} = 7: \frac{2 \times 3 \times 5}{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3} = 7: \frac{5}{2 \times 2 \times 3} = 7: \frac{5}{12} = 7:5:12$

Therefore,required simplest form is 7:5:12.
