Question

Express each of the following ratios in its simplest form.

$₹105:235p$

Answer 1

Step 1- Write them in the form of a fraction.

$₹105:235p=\frac{₹105}{235p}=\frac{₹105\times 100p}{235p}[₹1=100p]$

Step 2- Dividing antecedent and consequent by their HCF $5$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{10500÷5}{235÷5}=\frac{2100}{47} \\ or2100\mathbf{:}47 \end{gathered}$$

So, the simplest form is $2100:47$
