Answer 1

Finding simplest form of ratios

Answer:

(i) $\frac{85}{561}=\frac{5}{33}$

(ii) $\frac{186}{403}=\frac{6 }{13 }$

(iii) $\frac{777}{1147}=\frac{21}{31 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write in simplest form, cancel the common numbers.

(i)85 : 561

$\frac{85}{561}=\frac{17 \cdot 5}{17 \cdot 33}$                [17 is common]

$\frac{85}{561}=\frac{5}{33}$

(ii) 186 : 403

$\frac{186}{403}=\frac{6 \cdot 31}{13 \cdot 31}$                 [31 is common]

$\frac{186}{403}=\frac{6 }{13 }$

(iii) 777 : 1147

$\frac{777}{1147}=\frac{37 \cdot 21}{37 \cdot 31}$                 [37 is common]

$\frac{777}{1147}=\frac{21}{31 }$
