To simplify a ratio, first make into the fraction form. a:b = \frac{a}{b}

Then find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator.

\frac{15}{37} = \frac{(3)(5)}{(1)(37)}

Now cancel out any common factors. But if there isn't any common factors, then the fraction or ratio is in its simplest formula.

And that is the case here.

And because the question wants the answer in ratio form, make the fraction back into a ratio.

So, A. 15:37 is the answer.

Coby needs to know the area and perimeter of his farm property. The length of his property is 1 6 mile and the width is 2 9 mile
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

P= 7/9 miles

A= (7/18) miles²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length 'l' = (1/6) mile

Width 'w'= (2/9) mile

Perimeter 'P' is given by:

'P' = 2l + 2w => 2(1/6) + 2(2/9)

P= 7/9 miles

Area 'A' is given by:

A= l x w =(1/6) x (2/9) = (7/18) miles²
