Question

write an equivalent ratio in simplest form of the ratio 1852 to 3690

Answer 1

926/1845

Explanation:

To get the equivalent ratio in its simplest form, wefind the numbers common to both numbers.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1852}{3690} \\ \end{gathered}$

2 is common to both, so we divide:

$\begin{gathered} 1852\div\text{ 2 = 926 } \\ 3690\div2\text{ = 1845} \\ \frac{926}{1845} \end{gathered}$

We check again if there is a number common to them

No number is common to both numerator and denominator asides 1

Hence, the simplest form is 926/1845
