Yes. A ratio is like a fraction, and it can be reduced. Often it already is, but if it isn't, it can be. Let's look. The numbers 5/8, 1/3 and 91/101 are fractions that can't be reduced. The ratio of 5 to 8 and 1 to 3 and 91 to 101 can be written 5:8, 1:3 and 91:101 and cannot be reduced. On the other hand, 2/4 and 3/9 can be reduced to 1/2 and 1/3 respectively. The same could be said of the ratios 2:4 and 3:9 which reduce to 1:2 and 1:3 respectively.

What does equivalent ratio mean?
Two ratios such as 8:20 and 6:15 are equivalent when they can be reduced to the same set of numbers through division or multiplication with a common factor. in this case dividing the numbers in the first ratio by 4 and the ones in the second ratio by 3 reduces them both to 2:5. Therefore 8:20 and 6:15 are equivalent ratios.
Can ratios be reduced to lowest terms?
