Answer 1

Given:

A) 6:9

`6\colon9=(6)/(9)=(3\cdot2)/(3\cdot3)=(2)/(3)=2\colon3`

It shows that the simplest form of 6:9 is 2:3.

B) 10:24

`(10)/(24)=(5\cdot2)/(2\cdot12)=(5)/(12)=5\colon12`

It shows that the simplest form of 10:24 is 5:12.

C) 4:36

`4\colon36=(4)/(36)=(1\cdot4)/(4\cdot9)=(1)/(9)=1\colon9`

It shows that the simplest form of 4:36 is 1:9.

D) 8:15

`8\colon15=(8)/(15)`

It implies that the ratio of 8:15 is in the simplest form.

Answer: D) 8:15
