OpenStudy (anonymous):
4/2=2 and there r 2wildlife
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4 p cards 32 cards in all 32/4=8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8+4+2+2= d
16 = d
4/16= 1/4
sorry read that wrong at first

"Sylvia has a total of 16 trading cards" of which :
superhero: 8
princess: 4
villain: 2
wildlife: 2
so, the ratio of princess to total is 4 to 16
but that is not the simplest form...
can you simplify 4/16 ?

so its 4 to 16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, but you are asked to give the simplest form
that means the minimal equivalent fraction
what if you divide both numerator and denominator by 4 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4/16 simplify's into 1/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
by 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it 4 to 2

4 to 16 or 1 to 4 ....
they are the same ratio, but you are asked for the simplest... so 1 to 4 !
