Hi there!
Answer:
4:3
Explanation:
Here is how we simplify a ratio:
1.Find the greatest common factor in both of the numbers
2.Divide both of the numbers by that factor.
3. And than your done solving the problem!
*******************************************************************
You have to divide both numbers by 2 because the GCF of 8 and 6 is 2
Remember; GCF means Greatest Common Factor...
8/2=4
6/2=3
Since we got 4 and 3...
The answer would be 4:3
So, 8:6 would equal to 4:3
Also if you want to simplify you have to divide and make it the smallest number you can!
If we simplify 8:6 it will be 4:3 but we can’t simplify 4:3 so that will be the answer.
(Note; Half of 8 is 4 and half of 6 is 3 so we know that’s correct, it’s also a way you can check your work)
~Have a great day!~
