In this question, we have to reduce this following ratio into the lowest term.
00:07
So first of all, we should ensure that every number written in ratio form should be a whole number or we can say a natural number.
00:17
So here it is again in natural number.
00:20
So now we will find prime factorization of all the three numbers.
00:26
So 16 .8 .2 multiplied by 2.
00:30
Multiplied by 2 multiplied by 2 now similarly 20 equal to 2 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 5 and 24 equal to 2 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 3 now we see that common part among all the 3 number is 2 multiplied by 2 or we can say that this is s c f highest common factor so this is 4 that means we will divide every number by 4 and we will get our answer in lowest term.
01:04
So, now we will divide every number by 4.
01:07
So we get 4, ratio 5, ratio 6.
01:12
So this is our answer of part a.
01:16
Now, in b part, we are given three terms like this 1 .25 ratio 2, ratio 7 .5.
01:25
So we have earlier said that we should ensure that every number should be in whole number or we can say in natural number.
01:33
So first of all, we will multiply every number by 4 so that it convert into the whole number.
01:40
So now we multiply every number by 4, we get 5 ratio 8 ratio 30...
