Question

write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form. with whole numbers in the numerato and denominator. 40g : 64g​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5g}{8g}$ OR 5g : 8g

Step-by-step explanation:

Also a ratio can also be represented by a fraction; $\frac{40g}{64g}$

So to make the ratio to the simplest form we have to divide by a number that can divide both number.

40g : 64g

We can start dividing by 2 which will give us;

20g : 32g

$\frac{20g}{32g}$

Now we can divide by 2 again since it can divide both numbers which will give us;

10g : 16g

$\frac{10g}{16g}$

We can still divide by 2 since it can divide both numbers which will give us;

5g : 8g

$\frac{5g}{8g}$

Since no numbers can divide 5 and 8 equally that is our answer.

Also, $\frac{5g}{8g}$
