Correct

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

Just think of this like a fraction. You want to get it as simplified as possible

likeabossssssss · Answer

@hzro can u explain how

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

$\Large\frac{28}{35}$

There is a number that both are divisible by. This is called finding the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

likeabossssssss · Answer

28/35=.8

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

Hint:
(no need to divide 28 by 35)

28: (1,2,4,7, 14,28)
35: (1,5,7,35)

What is the GREATEST number that you see in these factor lists?

likeabossssssss · Answer

7 i think caz both 35 + 28 have a 7 that they can dived by

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

that's right!

so:

$\Large\frac{28\div 7}{35\div 7}$

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

and this should give you the ratio that you're looking for

likeabossssssss · Answer

` 28/7=4 `

likeabossssssss · Answer

` 35/7=5

likeabossssssss · Answer

so i was right thank u so much :D

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

yup! I hope this explanation makes sense! ^.^

likeabossssssss · Answer

it did

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

But oh! Here's another helpful tip:

You actually brought up something helpful earlier. 

vvvvvvvvvvv

When you divide 28 by 35, you get .8

and .8 can also be rewritten as 8/10, which can be simplified to 4/5 because 10 divided by 2 is 5 and 8 divided by 2 is 4.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

So this could be a faster way to find this, but when you find the greatest common factor, you're sure to find the simpler ratio :)
