Question
Express the following ratios in the simplest form: $85 : 561$
✓
Answer
The given ratio is $85:561=\frac{85}{561}$
To express in it simplest form, we divided the numerator and denominator by the $HCF$ of $85$ and $561.$
By the $HCF$ of $85$ and $561.$
Now, $HCF$ of $85$ and $561 = 17$
$\therefore\frac{85}{561}=\frac{85\div17}{561\div17}=\frac{5}{33}$
$\therefore \text{Required ratio}=5.33$
