1.	From the following pairs of numbers, find the reduced form of ratio of first number to second number.i. 72,60 ii. 38,57 iii. 52,78
Answer» i. 72, 60 Ratio = \(\frac{72}{60}\) = \(\frac{12\,\times\,6}{12\,\times\,5}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\) = 6 : 5 ii. 38, 57 Ratio = \(\frac{38}{57}\) = \(\frac{19\,\times\,2}{19\,\times\,3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 2 : 3 iii. 52, 78 Ratio = \(\frac{52}{78}\) = \(\frac{26\,\times\,2}{26\,\times\,3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 2 : 3

From the following pairs of numbers, find the reduced form of ratio of first number to second number.i. 72,60 ii. 38,57 iii. 52,78

Answer»

i. 72, 60

Ratio = \(\frac{72}{60}\) = \(\frac{12\,\times\,6}{12\,\times\,5}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\) = 6 : 5

ii. 38, 57

Ratio = \(\frac{38}{57}\) = \(\frac{19\,\times\,2}{19\,\times\,3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 2 : 3

iii. 52, 78

Ratio = \(\frac{52}{78}\) = \(\frac{26\,\times\,2}{26\,\times\,3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 2 : 3
