Question

Express each of the following ratios in its simplest forms:
$\left(iv\right)$ $x^2:4x$

Answer 1

Find the simplest form of given ratio
We have,
$x^2:4x=\frac{x^2}{4x}$
$=\frac{x\times x}{4\times x}=\frac{x}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x^2:4x=x:4$

Hence, the simplest form of the ratio
$x^2:4x$ is $x:4$
