Question 611003: wirte as rate: 66 boys to 55 girls
Answer by ashipm01(26) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To simplify the ratio, divide both values by their greatest common divisor, also referred to as gcd. It happens the gcd of 66 and 55 is 11. So the ratio can be rewritten as follows:
6*11 : 5*11
Dividing both of those values by 11 results in the following form where each term is relatively prime (the gcd of both values is 1).
6 boys : 5 girls
