Answer:

» 40 s : 1 min = 40 s : 60 s = 2 : 3

Therefore, simplest form is 2 : 3.

Hence, it's true.

Answer 2

Answer:

This statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we see that time is in seconds and minutes

So, we convert minutes into seconds

As we know ,

1 min. =60 sec

Ratio of 40 sec : 1 min = 40 sec : 60 sec

                                     = 40 /60

                                     =$\frac{40}{60}$

                                    = (40÷10 )/(60÷10)

                                   = 4 /6

                                  =(4÷2)/(6÷2)

                                   = 2/3

                                 =2: 3
