Answer:
Option A is correct.
Given ratio in lowest form is, 1 : 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio states that it is a relationship between two things when it is expressed in numbers or amounts.
i,e a to b = a: b = [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
Given : The given ratio 15 : 75
by definition of ratio,
[tex]\frac{15}{75}[/tex]
Divide both numerator and denominator by 15 we get;
[tex]\frac{\frac{15}{15}}{\frac{75}{15}}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Or we can write this ratio as 1 : 5.
Also, check that we can't divide any more numbers into both terms other than 1.
Therefore, the ratio 15 : 75 in lowest term is, 1 : 5
