Question

A class has 4 boys and 10 girls. what is the ratio in simplest form that compares number of boys to total number of students? 4:14 4:10 2:7 2:5

Answer 1

even though this was a long time ago, i will help the new people looking for the answer to their FLVS test,

The answer is 2:5, why?

it says 4:10 in the simplest form, none of that asks to add that together,

2:5 is the simplest form of 4:10 here is how you simplify that:

The GCD of 4 and 10 is 2.

4 ÷ 210 ÷ 2.

The reduced fraction is, 25. so, 4/10 simplified to lowest terms is 2/5.
