We then have: 4 : 4.5 = 40 : 45 Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of 40 and 45 is 5 Divide both terms by the GCF, 5: 40 ÷ 5 = 8 45 ÷ 5 = 9 The ratio 40 : 45 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 : 40 : 45 = 8 : 9 Therefore: 4 : 4.5 = 8 : 9 A Salary increased by -9411.7647059 B Salary increased by– 10588.2352941 Reply

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 40 and 45 is 5
Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:
40 ÷ 5 = 8
45 ÷ 5 = 9
The ratio 40 : 45 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :
40 : 45 = 8 : 9
Therefore:
4 : 4.5 = 8 : 9
