ANSWER
The simplest form of the ratio
\(30:6\)
is
\(5:1\)
EXPLANATION
The ratio given to us is
\(30:6\)
We can divide each term in ratio by the same number.
To find the ratio in the simplest form we divide the terms in the ratio by their highest common factor, which is
\(6.\)
This implies that,
\(30:6 = \frac{30}{6} : \frac{6}{6}\)
We simplify this to obtain,
\(30:6 = 5: 1\)
The correct answer is C.
Alternatively,
\(30:6 = \frac{30}{6}\)
\(30:6 = \frac{5}{1}\)
This implies that,
\(30:6 = 5:1\)
