Question

Write an equivalent ratio in simplest form of the ratio 1852 to 3690

Answer 1

926/1845

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equivalent ratio in its simplest form, wefind the numbers common to both numbers.

`\begin{gathered} (1852)/(3690) \\ \end{gathered}`

2 is common to both, so we divide:

`\begin{gathered} 1852/\text{ 2 = 926 } \\ 3690/2\text{ = 1845} \\ (926)/(1845) \end{gathered}`

We check again if there is a number common to them

No number is common to both numerator and denominator asides 1

Hence, the simplest form is 926/1845
