Answer 2

The ratio they are asking for is Model height to actual height. Rewritten that is:

Model Height: Actual Height

So the ratio after plugging in numbers is;

15:605

Ratios can be simplified by dividing both sides.

Both numbers are divisible by 5.

Therefore the ratio is;

3:121

(this is the simplest form of the ratio because 121

is not evenly divisible by 3)

Now, that is not an answer you can select,

however you can also multiply both sides by theKalius Call be simple by uviuiny po siues. Both numbers are divisible by 5.

Therefore the ratio is;

3:121

(this is the simplest form of the ratio because 121 is not evenly divisible by 3)

Now, that is not an answer you can select, however you can also multiply both sides by the same number. Take 4 for example (I'm choosing 4 because 3*4=12)
