Answer 5

Of course! It's a great way to demonstrate understanding of the process and show the logic behind simplifying the ratio. Breaking down the numbers into their factors, canceling out the common factors, and simplifying the ratio is a clear and concise way to explain simplifying ratios. It also shows that you understand how to reduce a ratio to its simplest form by dividing both parts by the greatest common factor. Keep up the good work!
