Reduce each ratio to its simplest form.
a. 17 : 102
b. 208⁄52
c. 54 to 2
d. 7 : 49

a. 1 : 6

b. 4/1

c. 27 to 1

d. 1 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To reduce each ratio to its simplest form, find the greatest common factor(gcf) for both sides of the ratio and divide them by that number.

For example, in part a the greatest common factor is 17. Divide both sides of the ratio by 17:

17/17 = 1 and 102/17 = 6

The ratio becomes 1 : 6.

The gcf for part b is 52. The gcf for part c is 2 and the gcf for part d is 7.
