65 : 16\text{65 : 16}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here's how to simplify the ratio 8216:28\frac{2}{16} : 2 for a Grade 4 learner:

  1. Convert the mixed number to a fraction.

    First, we have 82168\frac{2}{16}. This means 8 whole parts and 216\frac{2}{16} of another part.
    To make it all one fraction, we multiply the whole number (8) by the bottom number of the fraction (16), and then add the top number (2).
    8×16=1288 \times 16 = 128
    128+2=130128 + 2 = 130
    So, 82168\frac{2}{16} is the same as 13016\frac{130}{16}.
    Our ratio is now 13016:2\frac{130}{16} : 2.

  2. Make the second number a fraction too.

    We can write 2 as 21\frac{2}{1}.
    So the ratio is 13016:21\frac{130}{16} : \frac{2}{1}.

  3. Get rid of the fractions in the ratio.

    To do this, we want to make the bottom numbers (denominators) the same. The smallest number that both 16 and 1 can divide into is 16.
    The first fraction is already 13016\frac{130}{16}.
    For the second fraction, 21\frac{2}{1}, we multiply the top and bottom by 16:
    2×161×16=3216\frac{2 \times 16}{1 \times 16} = \frac{32}{16}.
    Now our ratio is 13016:3216\frac{130}{16} : \frac{32}{16}.
    Since both fractions have the same bottom number, we can just look at the top numbers: 130:32130 : 32.

  4. Simplify the ratio by dividing both numbers by a common number.

    We have the ratio 130:32130 : 32. We need to find a number that can divide evenly into both 130 and 32.
    Both numbers are even, so we can divide both by 2.
    130÷2=65130 \div 2 = 65
    32÷2=1632 \div 2 = 16
    So the ratio becomes 65:1665 : 16.

  5. Check if we can simplify further.

    Now we have $65 : 16$.
    Can we divide both 65 and 16 by the same number?
    Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
    65 cannot be divided evenly by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
    So, $65 : 16$ is the simplest form.
