Answer:
correct
Step-by-step explanation:
dividing both quantities in a ratio by the same non zero number does indeed find an equivalent ratio.
for example
60 : 36 ( divide both parts by 6 )
= 10 : 6 ← equivalent ratio ( divide both parts by 2 )
= 5 : 3 ← equivalent ratio in simplest form
in fact dividing the original by the HCF of the 2 quantities gives the ratio in simplest form immediately , that is
60 : 36 ( divide both parts by 12 )
= 5 : 3
