Answer 6

The ratio 16 to 40 written as a fraction is
16/40
Now you need to reduce the fraction.

Answer 7

Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.
Keep doing it until there is no common divisor anymore.

Answer 8

What are 16 and 40 divisible by?

Answer 9

Hint: They are both even numbers.

Answer 10

One tip: use some primes when getting things to reduced forms OR lowest common denominator (which is a related topic.) Trying to take 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 out of most things will simplify them. In many cases you will do this more than once. So you take a 2 out, if they are still even, take another 2 out, and so on. Once you get used to the process you may see a larger number that comes out of both that will speed the process up.

Answer 11

the answer is 8/20

Answer 12

Dividing the numerator and denominator of 16/40 by 2 does give you 8/20, but that is not reduced completely because 8 and 20 are still divisible by 2.

Answer 13

2/5 @m

Answer 14

Correct.
16 and 40 can both be divided by 8, so the faction 16/40 reduces to 2/5.
