Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been asked to write the ratio of 112 and 133 in its simplest form. That means we have to take 112 in the numerator and 133 in the denominator and cancel the common factors of both the numerator and denominator if present. To find whether they have common factors or not we use the prime factorization method to write the numbers as a product of their primes.

Let us assume this ratio as E, so we have,

⇒E=12/16

Here the numerator 12can be written as 12=2×2×3

as the product of its prime factors. Also, the denominator 16 can be written as 2×2×2×2

as the product of its primes. So we get,

⇒E=2×2×3/2×2×2×2

Clearly we can see that 2×2 is common in numerator and the denominator so cancelling them we get,

⇒E=3/2×2

Hence, 3/4 is the required ratio in its simplest form.
