Express the following ratio in lowest terms.
105 knives to 120 spoons

the ratio in lowest terms is: 7 knives to 8 spoons = 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First express the ratio 105 knives to 120 spoons as the quotient:

next write each of the numbers in prime-factor form:

105 = 3 x 5 x 7

120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

Now notice that when we express the quotient sing the factor form of the numbers, the factor 3, and 5 can be cancelled out because they appear in numerator an in denominator at the same time. therefore our quotient becomes:

Therefore the ratio in lowest terms is: 7 knives to 8 spoons
