What is the simplest form of the ratio 40 : 16?

5 :2

Step-by-step explanation:

40 : 16   divide by 8 = 5 :2  other solution methods for larger or awkward number's if you cannot find the divider the formula is {small/large} =16 / 40= 0.4  {then multiply by largest number / 2 } = 0.4 * 40/2 = 8 the multiplier  again we divide 40/8 then 16/8 = 5 and 2 = 5:2

me i beg !

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
