Question

Express the following ratios in their simplest form:
a) 80: 112
b) 425 : 750
c) 629 : 407​

Answer 1

a)5:7

b)17:50

c)629:407.

a)We can express the ratios (80 and 112) by using 4th table.

80/4=20 and 20/4=5.

112/4=28 and 28/4=7.

So,the simplest form is 5:7.

b)We can express the ratios (425 and 750) by using 5th table.

425/5=85 and 85/5=17.

750/5=250 and 250/5=50.

So,the simplest form is 17:50.

c)629:407 is already in the simplest form of ratio.
