\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{Simplify the ratio 50:30}


\\\textsf{Finding your GCF}\downarrow\\\\\textsf{30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30}\\\textsf{50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 30}\\\\\bold{GCF: \underline{10}}\large\checkmark


\large\text{DIVIDE BOTH of the TERMS by 10}


\mathsf{50/10=5}\\\mathsf{30/10=3}}


\large\text{We had to reduce the ratio of 50:30 to your LOWEST TERMS}\\\large\text{by DIVIDING each of the TERMS by 10}


\bold{Thus, that\ means\ that\ 50:30\ is\ simplified\ to \rightarrow 5:3}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Answer: \bold{5:3}}}}\huge\checkmark
