Question

Tell whether the ratio is in simplest form. If not, write it in simplest

form. Then write the ratio in two other ways.

4. 7 to 26.

Short answer

The ratio of7 to 26is in the simplest form.

The other two forms are$\frac{7}{26}$ and 7:26..

Step-by-step solution

. Given

The given ratio is: 7 to 26.

. To determine

We have to check if the given ratio is in the simplest form or not.

Then we have to find the given ratio in the simplest form. (If not)

After that, we have to write the simplest form of the given ratio in two other ways.

. Calculation

We first find the factors of 7 and 26.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Thefactorsof7=1,7and}\\ \text{Thefactorsof26=1,2,13,26.}\\ \text{TheGCFof7and26=1}\end{array}$

This means the ratio of 7 to 26 is in the simplest form.

The other two ways to write the ratio are:$\frac{7}{26}$ and 7:26.
