Question
Express the following ratios in the simplest form:
480 : 384
480 : 384
✓
Answer
The given ratio $=480:384=\frac{480}{384}$ To express it in simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by the HCF of 480 and 384. Now, HCF of 480 and 384 = 96
$\therefore\frac{480}{384}=\frac{480\div96}{384\div96}=\frac{5}{4}$ $\therefore\text{Required ratio}=5:4$
$\therefore\frac{480}{384}=\frac{480\div96}{384\div96}=\frac{5}{4}$ $\therefore\text{Required ratio}=5:4$
