Ratios COURSE 2 LESSON 5-1 An average adult male gorilla living in the wild weighs about 350 lb. In zoos, an adult male gorilla can weigh about 750 lb. Write a ratio in simplest form to compare the weight of the gorillas in the wild to those in zoos. 350 750 = 50 ÷ 350 750 7 15 Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 50. The ratio of the weight of the gorilla in the wild to the gorilla in the zoo is 7 to 15. 5-1
