Shamar Richards · Answer 1

Take factors of 20 and 5. so for 20 you'd have: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20. factors of 5 are 1,5. both of these numbers are divisible by 5 so divide them each by that number and your answer is 4:1

Danielle Horne · Answer 2

Because both numbers are divisible by 5 you can just do:

20/5=4

5/5=1

the new ratio is 4:1
