Question

do you have options or are you just supposed to simplify the ratio?
A. 1 : 16 B. 1 : 24 C. 1 : 8 D. 1 : 4

Answer 1

Which ratio is equivalent to:
8 : 32
To simplify the ratio we have to find the greatest common factor ( GCF ) for the number on each side. Than we have to divide both by GCF.
 GCF ( 8, 32 ) = 8;  8 : 8 = 1;   32 : 8 = 4
Answer: D ) 1 : 4
