Answer: The required simplified form of the given ratio is 3 : 4.

Explanation: We are given to express the following ratio in simplest form :


R=21:28~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following rule :


a:b=(a)/(b).

From (i), we get


R=21:28=(21)/(28)=(7*3)/(7*4)=\dfra{3}{4}=3:4.

Thus, the required simplified form of the given ratio is 3 : 4.
