Question

Write 4:20 in the simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 4: 20 in simplest form we have to find the GCF (Greatest common factor)

The GCF of 4 and 20 is 4.

we need to factor each number

(factors of 4 = 1, 2, 4)

(factors of 20 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20)

and choose the greatest factor that exactly divides both 4 and 20, i.e., 4.

Now we can divide

4: 4 = 1

20 : 4 = 5

Thus, 4: 20 in simplest form is 1:5

Answer 2

Answer:

1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

4:20 also can be express as 4/20 {fraction}

Find GCF : 4

Thus,

4/4 = 1

20/4 = 5

we can also see that if we cross multiply:

4 × 5 = 20

20 × 1 = 20

$\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, 4:20 in the simplest form is 1:5 or 1/5
