Question

Help please! thank you!

The ratio of cats to dogs is 8/6, which can be simplified to 4/3. The ratio of fish to birds is 20/2. Can it be simplified to 10? Why or why not? Answer in complete sentences.

Answer 1

Ratios can only be written as 10:1. So the answer is no because you can’t write a ratio by just saying “10” you must write 10:1 or 10/1

Answer 2

Not exactly. It can't be simplified as "10" but can be simplified as 10:1 or 10/1. (At least I'm pretty sure).
