Question

Express ratios in simplest form : a)2/3:5/6​

Answer 1

Answer:

We now have:

2/3 : 5/6 = 4/6 : 5/6

Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 6 to eliminate the denominators.

We then have:

2/3 : 5/6 = 4 : 5

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 4 and 5 is 1

Divide both terms by the GCF, 1:

4 ÷ 1 = 4

5 ÷ 1 = 5

The ratio 4 : 5 cannot be reduced further by dividing both terms by the GCF = 1 :

Therefore:

2/3 : 5/6 = 4 : 5
