Answer:

10:1

Explanation:

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

The GCF of 20 and 2 is 2

Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:

20 ÷ 2 = 10

2 ÷ 2 = 1

The ratio 20 : 2 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :

20 : 2 = 10 : 1

Therefore:

20 : 2 = 10 : 1

hope this helped
