Answer 1

The ratio of large mammals to small mammals as a fraction in simplest form is 25/53.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the ratio of large mammals to small mammals as a fraction in simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. In this case, the number of large mammals is 75 and the number of small mammals is 159.

To find the GCD, we can list the factors of each number and find the greatest common factor.

The factors of 75 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, and 75.

The factors of 159 are 1, 3, 53, and 159.

The greatest common factor of 75 and 159 is 3.

So, the ratio of large mammals to small mammals as a fraction in simplest form is 25/53.
