Answer 1

The answer is B) 4:5

First write the ratio out. To find the simplified expression, divide by the greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 28 and 35 is 7.

28:35
--- ----
7    7
=4:5

4:5 is the simplest form because you cannot simplify it further.

28 ÷ 7 /35 ÷7 = 4/5 and thats the simplest one :)))
