Answer 2

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.
