The ratio of plates to napkins is 3:12 write the ratio in simplest form

The GCF of 3 and 12 is 3, so divide both numbers by 3

3 / 3 = 1

12 / 3 = 4

So in simplest form is 1:4

1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The choices are... (found online)

A- 1:4

B- 4:1

C- 3:4

D- 1:12

So first of all, let's cross out B (4:1) since it obviously isn't correct. Then we now have A, C, and D. Now we simply divide 3:12 by 3.

3/3=1

3/12=4

Now that equals 1:4.
