Simplify the ratio: 8 : 6/5show all you working out and explain how you got that answer.

To simplify the ratio we express it in the form of two
numbers which do not have any factors in common except for
1.

We have the given ratio 8:
(6/5)

This is equivalent to 8/
(6/5).

Now to simplify it
:

multiply the numerator and denominator by
(5/6)

=> [8*(5/6)] /
[(6/5)*(5/6)]

=> [40/6] /
1

=> 40 / 6

now divide
the numerator and denominator by 2

=> 20 /
3

=> Or 20 : 3

[ We see
that 20 and 3 only have 1 as the common
factor]

So the simplified form of 8 : 6/5 is
20 : 3
