Question

Misty has 10 shirts and 4 pairs of pants. Write the ratio of her shirts to pants in simplest form. 10 to 4 2 to 5 5 to 2 4 to 10

Answer 1

5:2 is the simplest form becuase it cant be divided into smaller numbers anymore.

2:5 wouldnt work because thats saying that there are 2 shirts for every 5 pants when its 5 shirts for every 2 pants.
