Question

60:48 in its simplest form

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given ratio to us is 60 : 48 and we are required to convert it into simplest form .

For this first find the HCF of 60 and 48 .

= 48 ) 60 ( 1

- 48

__________

12 ) 48 ( 4

- 48

__________

0

Hence the HCF ( 60,48 ) is 12 .

Now divide the given ratio by 12 .

= $\sf \dfrac{60\div 12}{48\div 12}$

= $\sf \dfrac{5}{4}$

=$\sf 5:4$

$\boxed{\green{\bf{\dag Hence\: the\:simplest\:form\:is\:5:4.}}}$
