Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To express the ratio 280/420 in its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide both the numerator and denominator by that divisor.

1. Calculate the GCD of 280 and 420. The factors of 280 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280. The factors of 420 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420. So the GCD of 280 and 420 is 140.

2. Divide both the numerator (280) and the denominator (420) by the GCD (140).

280 ÷ 140 = 2
420 ÷ 140 = 3

Therefore, the simplest form of the ratio 280/420 is 2/3.
