Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
The best way to find it is to reduce each ratio you work with to its lowest terms,and see which ones are equal. To reduce a ratio to its lowest terms, divide each number by their greatest common factor.
First, the one that you're trying to match: 49:35 . The greatest common factor of 49 and 35 is 7 . Divide each number by 7 . . . 7:5 . . . that's what you have to match.
7:4 Their greatest common factor is ' 1 '. No help at all, and this one is not it.
14:25 Again, their greatest common factor is '1 '. No help at all, and this one is not it.
21:15 Their greatest common factor is ' 3 '. Divide both numbers by 3 . . . 7:5 . That's it !
Answer 2
Answer:
49=7*7 35=7*5 so 49:35=7*7:7*5=7:5 7:4 is not 7:5 14:25 also isn't 7:5 21:15=3*7:3*5=7:5 the answer is 21:15
