Answer:
a. 1 : 6
b. 4/1
c. 27 to 1
d. 1 : 7
Explanation:
To reduce each ratio to its simplest form, find the greatest common factor(gcf) for both sides of the ratio and divide them by that number.
For example, in part a the greatest common factor is 17. Divide both sides of the ratio by 17:
17/17 = 1 and 102/17 = 6
The ratio becomes 1 : 6.
The gcf for part b is 52. The gcf for part c is 2 and the gcf for part d is 7.
