Question

Find and simplify the ratio of the length to the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

okay so the ratio is 60:65 (60 being the length, 65 being the width)

Answer 2

Now to simplify, you must make the ratio simpler to understand, so make it into a smaller number.

Answer 3

60:65 <-- can you find a number you can divide by those two numbers?

Answer 4

5?

ok good, so divide both those by 5 to make it "simpler" now its 12:13

Answer 6

Can you divide it anymore?

Answer 7

no, don't think so.
