12/21 in its simplest form is 4/7.
To find this out we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF of 12 and 21 which is 3.
12/21
12 ÷ 3 = 4
21 ÷ 3 = 7
4/7
12/21 in its simplest form is 4/7.
12/21 = 4/7
A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

Answer:
Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
Step-by-step explanation:
* The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats
- To know who is right lets change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number
∵ 5/8 means 5 ÷ 8
- 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and
insert decimal point in the quotient (answer of division)
∴ It will be 50 ÷ 8 = 6 and remainder 2/8 ⇒ 1/4
∴ The quotient = 0.6 and remainder 1/4
- 1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 4 = 2 and remainder 2/4 ⇒ 1/2
∴ The quotient = 0.62 and remainder 1/2
- 1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without remainder
∴ The quotient = 0.625
* Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
