Question

There are 2 triangles and 6 circles. What is the simplest ratio of triangles to circles?

Answer 1

Hi!

We are asked to find the ratio.

A ratio is a relationship/comparison between two or more numbers based on their numerical value.

We know that, for every 2 triangles there are 6 circles. We can set up our ratio to look like this:

$\cfrac{2}{6}$

(NOTE: there are many different ways to write ratios, including: "x:y", "x to y", or "x/y")

---

The question asks us to write it in simplest form. The fraction $\cfrac{2}{6}$ is NOT in simplest form. It can be simplified to:

$\cfrac{1}{3}$

This is the ratio in simplest form.
