    • 26:54

    • 13:9

    • 13:27

    Correct Answer
    A. 13:27
    Explanation
    The simplest form of a ratio is when the two numbers have no common factors other than 1. In this case, the ratio 13:27 is already in its simplest form because 13 and 27 do not share any common factors other than 1. Therefore, the answer is 13:27.

    Simplify the ratio 36:18:42

    Correct Answer
    6:3:7
    Explanation
    The given ratio 36:18:42 can be simplified by dividing all the numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 6. Dividing 36 by 6 gives us 6, dividing 18 by 6 gives us 3, and dividing 42 by 6 gives us 7. Therefore, the simplified ratio is 6:3:7.

    32 divided into the ratio 5:3 is

    • 12:20

    • 40:24

    • 20:12

    Correct Answer
    A. 20:12
    Explanation
    The ratio 5:3 means that the total value is divided into 5 parts and 3 parts. To find the value of each part, we divide 32 by the sum of the parts, which is 5+3=8. 32 divided by 8 is 4. Therefore, each part is equal to 4. Multiplying 4 by 5 gives us 20, and multiplying 4 by 3 gives us 12. So, the correct answer is 20:12.

    Divide 45 into 2:7 ratio

    Correct Answer
    10:35
    Explanation
    The given question asks to divide 45 into a 2:7 ratio. This means that the total ratio is 2+7=9 parts. To find the value of each part, we divide 45 by 9, which gives us 5. Therefore, each part is equal to 5. Multiplying 5 by 2 and 7 gives us 10 and 35, respectively. So, the correct answer is 10:35.

    Divide 121 into the ratio of 3:6:2

    Correct Answer
    33:66:22
    Explanation
    The given question asks to divide 121 into the ratio of 3:6:2. To find the parts of the ratio, we add the parts together (3+6+2=11) and then divide 121 by this sum (121/11=11). Now, we multiply each part of the ratio by 11 to find the actual values. Thus, the answer is 33:66:22, which represents the division of 121 into the ratio of 3:6:2.

    Divide 144 into 3:4:5 ratio

    Correct Answer
    36:48:60
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because when we divide 144 into a 3:4:5 ratio, we can calculate the parts by dividing 144 by the sum of the ratio parts, which is 3+4+5=12. Then, we multiply each part by the corresponding ratio to find the values. In this case, 144 divided by 12 is 12. Therefore, the parts are 3 parts of 12, which is 36, 4 parts of 12, which is 48, and 5 parts of 12, which is 60. So, the correct answer is 36:48:60.
