Show answers and working
1. 1:1
HCF of 30 and 30 is 30. Divide both parts by it: 1:1.
2. 1:1
HCF of 20 and 20 is 20. Divide both parts by it: 1:1.
3. 1:1
HCF of 12 and 12 is 12. Divide both parts by it: 1:1.
4. 3:2
HCF of 12 and 8 is 4. Divide both parts by it: 3:2.
5. 10 and 6
Total parts: 5 + 3 = 8. One part: 16 ÷ 8 = 2. 5 × 2 = 10, 3 × 2 = 6.
6. 44 and 66
Total parts: 4 + 6 = 10. One part: 110 ÷ 10 = 11. 4 × 11 = 44, 6 × 11 = 66.
7. 40 and 50
Total parts: 4 + 5 = 9. One part: 90 ÷ 9 = 10. 4 × 10 = 40, 5 × 10 = 50.
8. 30 and 10
Total parts: 3 + 1 = 4. One part: 40 ÷ 4 = 10. 3 × 10 = 30, 1 × 10 = 10.
9. 10 and 2
Total parts: 5 + 1 = 6. One part: 12 ÷ 6 = 2. 5 × 2 = 10, 1 × 2 = 2.
10. 12 and 24
Total parts: 2 + 4 = 6. One part: 36 ÷ 6 = 6. 2 × 6 = 12, 4 × 6 = 24.
11. 10 and 10
Total parts: 1 + 1 = 2. One part: 20 ÷ 2 = 10. 1 × 10 = 10, 1 × 10 = 10.
12. 10 and 20
Total parts: 2 + 4 = 6. One part: 30 ÷ 6 = 5. 2 × 5 = 10, 4 × 5 = 20.
Worked examples
Simplify the ratio 48:36.
- HCF of 48 and 36 is 12.

- Answer: 4:3
Share 63 in the ratio 4:3.
- Total parts: 4 + 3 = 7.
- One part: 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
- 4 × 9 = 36, 3 × 9 = 27.
- Answer: 36 and 27
Share 42 in the ratio 2:4.
- Total parts: 2 + 4 = 6.
- One part: 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
- 2 × 7 = 14, 4 × 7 = 28.
- Answer: 14 and 28
