Question

Simplify the following ratio into their simplest form 40:20

Answer 1

Answer:

=> The simplest form for $40:20$ is $2 : 1$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio:-

$40:20$

We have to simplify the above ratio to their simplest form,

For simplifying first we have to find GCD of the numerator and the denominator :

The GCD of $40$ and $20$ is $20$.

The given ratio is written as:-

$=>\frac{40}{20}$

Now, divide the value of GCD to the above fraction,

$=>\frac{40\div20}{20\div20}$

$=>\frac{2}{1}$

Hence, the required solution is 2 : 1.
