Question

write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form. with whole numbers in the numerato and denominator. 40g : 64g​

Answer 1

`(5g)/(8g)` OR 5g : 8g

Explanation:

Also a ratio can also be represented by a fraction;
`(40g)/(64g)`

So to make the ratio to the simplest form we have to divide by a number that can divide both number.

40g : 64g

We can start dividing by 2 which will give us;

20g : 32g

`(20g)/(32g)`

Now we can divide by 2 again since it can divide both numbers which will give us;

10g : 16g

`(10g)/(16g)`

We can still divide by 2 since it can divide both numbers which will give us;

5g : 8g

`(5g)/(8g)`

Since no numbers can divide 5 and 8 equally that is our answer.

Also,
`(5g)/(8g)`
