Answer:

To simplify the ratio 5:9, we find the greatest common divisor of 5 and 9, and then we divide 5 and 9 by the greatest common divisor. Or if you want to know if its equivalent you would be able to divide evenly by the same number for both for example, 15:27 are equivalent since they both can be divided by themselves three times
