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
$\therefore\frac{85}{561}=\frac{85\div17}{561\div17}=\frac{5}{33}$
$\therefore \text{Required ratio}=5.33$
