Question

60:48 in its simplest form

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given ratio to us is 60 : 48 and we are required to convert it into simplest form .

For this first find the HCF of 60 and 48 .

= 48 ) 60 ( 1

- 48

__________

12 ) 48 ( 4

- 48

__________

0

Hence the HCF ( 60,48 ) is 12 .

Now divide the given ratio by 12 .

=
`\sf (60/ 12)/(48/ 12)`

=
`\sf (5)/(4)`

=
`\sf 5:4`

`\boxed{\green{\bf{\dag Hence\: the\:simplest\:form\:is\:5:4.}}}`
