Question

Which fraction shows the ratio 16:200 as a fraction simplified form

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $\frac{2} {25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the ratio 16 : 200 and we are to write it as a fraction in its most simplified form.

For that, first of all we will write it in a fraction form:

$\frac {16} {200}$

Then we will divide 16 and 200 by 4 to get:

$\frac {4}{50}$

Further dividing 4 and 50 by 2 to get:

$\frac{2} {25}$

Therefore, $\frac{2} {25}$ is the simplified fraction form of the ratio 16:200.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. $\frac{2}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a ratio 16:200 and we are asked to find the ratio as a fraction in simplified form.

Since ratio compares two numbers or two quantities that are measured with the same unit.

Upon converting our ratio into fraction we will get,

$\frac{16}{200}$

Let us cancel out greatest common factor from numerator and denominator of our fraction to simplify it.

$\frac{16}{200}=\frac{8*2}{25*8}$

After cancelling out 8 we will get,

$\frac{2}{25}$

Therefore, our fraction simplifies to $\frac{2}{25}$ and option C is the correct choice.
