$Inside\ each\ packet\ he\ used\ the\ greatest\ amount\ of\ mint\ sweets,\\so\ we\ can\ focus\ only\ on\ it.\\\\We\ should\ divide\ all\ of\ mint\ sweets\ by\ one\ packet\ amount:\\\\500:10=50\\\\He\ can\ make\ 50\ packets\ of\ this\ type.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is an expression that shows the relationship between two items in terms of quantity. It shows how much of one item can be found in another.

Simon used 3 pears and 9 apples to make a fruit salad.

This is expressed in terms of quantity.

The ratio of the number of pears which simon used to the number of apples which simon used will be

Number of pears which simon used ÷ the number of apples which simon used.

The ratio is 3/9.

Simplifying further to its lowest term,

It becomes 1/3

This is done by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3

Simplest Form: $7 : 2$

How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:

List the factors of A
List the factors of B
Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
Divide A and B each by the GCF
Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:

14 ÷ 2 = 7

4 ÷ 2 = 2

The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :

14 : 4 = 7 : 2

Therefore:

14 : 4 = 7 : 2
