Calculation:
As per the given problem,
Consider the ratio:
9 to 12
The factors of 9:1,3,9 and
The factors of 12:1,2,3,4,6,12
GCF of 9 and 12 is 3, that is, both the numbers 9 and 12 are divisible by 3.
Hence, the ratio 9 to 12 is not in the simplest form.
Therefore, 912=9÷312÷3 [Divide numerator and denominator by 3.]
=34 [simplify]
As 3 and 4 have only 1 as common factor, so 3 to 4 is the simplest form of the ratio.
Hence,
The simplest form of the ratio 9 to 12 is 3 to 4.
Now, two more ways to write the ratio are:
34 and 3:4.
