Answer:

5:8

Step-by-step explanation: you can divide 10:16 by 2 to make 5:8, and that is the simplest form.

Answer:

5:8

Explanation:

yellow:red

10:16

simplified would be 5:8

***important note, when doing ratio, make sure to list the term that is asked for first. example: it's yellow to red skittles and not red to yellow. red to yellow would be 8:5 and that would be a wrong answer, so read carefully:)
