Bill has 40 tennis balls, Sam has 60 tennis balls and Max has 50 tennis balls.

What is the ratio of Bill, Sam and Max's tennis balls?

Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

if bill has 40 sam has 60 and max has 50
the ratio would be 40:60:50

we have to simplify

we can divide everything by 10

4:6:5, this would be the final ration as we cannot further simplify

the only way to simplify is when all numbers can be divisible by another number
