answer!!!
so basically:
To simplify the fraction 60:80, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to obtain the simplest form!!!!
Step-by-step process:
1. Determine the GCD of 60 and 80.
- Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.
- Factors of 80: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80.
- The common factors are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10.
- The GCD of 60 and 80 is 10.
2. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD (10):
60 ÷ 10 = 6
80 ÷ 10 = 8
Therefore, the simplified form of 60:80 is 6:8.
It's worth noting that 6:8 can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
So, the simplest form of 60:80 is 3:4.
