Question

find the ratio of triangles to circles in the diagram below.
unsimplified ratio of triangles to circles:
3:9
answer attempt 1 out of 2
for every 1 triangle there are circles, therefore the simplified ratio of triangles to circles is

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the ratio

We have the ratio \(3:9\). To simplify, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 3 and 9 is 3.
\(\frac{3}{3}:\frac{9}{3}\)

Step2: Calculate the simplified ratio

\(1:3\)

Answer:

For every 1 triangle there are \(3\) circles, therefore the simplified ratio of triangles to circles is \(1:3\).
