Question

1. write the ratio of arrows to circles in unsimplified and simplest form.

unsimplified:
simplified:
1.
divide by gcf
arrows circles

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of arrows and circles

There are 8 arrows and 6 circles. So the unsimplified ratio of arrows to circles is 8:6.

Step2: Find the GCF of 8 and 6

The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8. The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. The greatest - common factor (GCF) of 8 and 6 is 2.

Step3: Divide both numbers by the GCF

Divide 8 by 2 to get 4, and divide 6 by 2 to get 3. So the simplified ratio is 4:3.

Answer:

Unsimplified: 8:6
Simplified: 4:3
