Write the following ratio in simplest form: 32 min:36 min
A. 8:9
B. 8:36
C. 32:9
D. 128:144
To simplify the ratio 32 min:36 min, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers (32 and 36).
The GCD of 32 and 36 is 4 because both numbers are divisible by 4.
To simplify the ratio, we divide both numbers by the GCD:
32 ÷ 4 = 8
36 ÷ 4 = 9
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 8:9.
The answer is A. 8:9.
To simplify the ratio 32 min:36 min, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide both numbers by it.
The GCD of 32 and 36 is 4.
Dividing both numbers by 4, we get 32 ÷ 4 = 8 and 36 ÷ 4 = 9.
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 8:9.
So, the correct answer is A. 8:9.
