Question
Express the following ratios in its simplest form: $324 : 144$
✓
Answer
To express this ratio in the simplest form,
we will have to find the $H.C.F$ of $\frac{324}{144},$ It is $36.$
Dividing each term of the ration by the $H.C.F$ of its terms i.e. $36,$
we get $\frac{324}{144}=\frac{324\div36}{144\div36}=\frac{9}{4}.$
Hence, the simplest form of the ratio $324 : 144$ is $9 : 4.$
