Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 45 and 60 is 15

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

45 ÷ 15

60 ÷ 15

Reduced fraction: 3/4

Therefore, 45/60 simplified to lowest terms is 3/4.

Answer 2

Hi! I hope you are enjoying your day!

In order to simplify this ratio (and 45:60 is a ratio), we should divide both sides of the ratio by 5 (because both 45 and 60 are evenly divisible by 5)

Divide:

9:12

Why?

Because 9 and 12 can be divided by 3:

3:4

Now the ratio IS in its simplest form.

Hence, the answer is
