Answer 1

I'm pretty sure simplest form would still be 865:2678
I could be wrong tho

Answer 2

The simplest form of the ratio is:
`(865)/(2678)`

Explanation:

We are given information about the buffalo in New york in the year 2015 as:

Number of arrests= 8,625

Number of robberies=2678

Number of assaults= 865

Number of murders= 20

The population of Buffalo is 258,959.

he ratio of the number of assaults to the number of robberies in simplest form is given by:

`(865)/(2678)`

As the number in the numerator and the denominator do not have a common factor. hence the simplest form of the ratio is:

`(865)/(2678)`
