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 .
= [tex]\sf \dfrac{60\div 12}{48\div 12}[/tex]
= [tex]\sf \dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]
=[tex]\sf 5:4[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\green{\bf{\dag Hence\: the\:simplest\:form\:is\:5:4.}}}[/tex]
