If the A:B ratio is 8:2, what is the simplified ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4:1

The governing concept is simplification of a ratio by dividing every term by the greatest common divisor shared by all terms. In the ratio 8:2, the greatest common divisor of 8 and 2 is 2. Dividing both terms by 2 gives 8 ÷ 2 : 2 ÷ 2 = 4:1. This preserves the exact relative entitlement of A and B while expressing the ratio in its simplest form. Option A is therefore correct. Options B and D reverse the order or represent the reciprocal relationship, so they do not preserve the stated A:B order. Option C changes only the second term and is not equivalent to 8:2. Thus 4:1 is the only valid simplified ratio.
