Write the ratio of frogs to flies in simplest form., 4 frogs and 8 flies

Answer

The simplified ratio is 1 frog to 2 flies

This can be written as 1:2 where it is implied that the first number is the number of frogs, and the second number is the number of flies

Explanation:

The ratio "4 frogs to 8 flies" can be written in shorthand as 4:8

You write the two numbers together separated by a colon

Then you divide each part by the GCF 2

4/4 = 1

8/4 = 2

That's how we go from the ratio 4:8 to its simplified form 1:2

This means that there are twice as many flies compared to frogs.
