I could be wrong tho

Answer:

The simplest form of the ratio is: [tex]\dfrac{865}{2678}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given information about the buffalo in  New york in the year 2015 as:

Number of arrests= 8,625

Number of robberies=2678

Number of assaults= 865

Number of murders= 20

The population of Buffalo is 258,959.

he ratio of the number of assaults to the number of robberies in simplest form is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{865}{2678}[/tex]

As the number in the numerator and the denominator do not have a common factor. hence the simplest form of the ratio is:

[tex]\dfrac{865}{2678}[/tex]
