\[\huge \bf \frac{5}{25}\]
you have to write in simplest form,
see that any factor common between 5 and 25 ???

1 and 5
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
correct
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
ratios can be written as fractions...for instance, 2 : 3 can also be written as 2/3.
So your ratio 5:25 can be written as 5/25 which can be reduced to 1/5...which in turn can be changed back to a ratio of 1 : 5 in simplest form.

but when we divide it by 1 ,we can get its simplest form.
Right? @zaqwsxedcrfv
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that the steps
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
the steps are basically reducing a fraction and turning it into a ratio

\[\large \bf \frac{5}{25}\]
there is one common factor i.e 5 so when we divide it,the fraction converts into SIMPLEST FORM.
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
just reduce it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
so,divide numerator and denominator by 5,
\[\huge \bf \frac{\frac{5}{5}}{\frac{25}{5}}=\frac{1}{5}=\color{red}{Answer}\]
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
understood? @zaqwsxedcrfv
