Question
Express the following ratios in its simplest form:
60 : 72
✓
Answer
To express this ratio in the simplest form, we will have to find the H.C.F of 60 and 72.
It is 12 dividing each term of the ration by the H.C.F of its terms i.e. 12 we get
$\frac{60}{12}=\frac{60\div12}{72\div12}=\frac{5}{6}\text{or}\ 5 : 6.$
Hence, the simplest form of the ratio 60 : 72 is 5 : 6.
