Let's simplify each fraction or ratio step-by-step:

1. 13 / 16.32: This fraction is approximately equal to 325/408 when simplified to its lowest terms.

2. 16 / 16: Any number divided by itself equals 1.

3. 32 / 16: When you divide 32 by 16, the result is 2.

4. 48 / 12: This simplifies to 4. Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 12.

5. 40 / 24: This fraction simplifies to 5/3. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8.

6. 12 / 24: This simplifies to 1/2. Divide both by 12, the greatest common factor.

7. 9 / 9: Any number divided by itself equals 1.

8. 17 / 35: This fraction is already in its simplest form since 17 and 35 have no common factors other than 1.

9. 80 / 16: When simplified, this fraction becomes 5. Divide both by 16.

10. 6 / 16: This simplifies to 3/8 by dividing both by 2, the greatest common factor.

11. 64 / 80: This fraction simplifies to 4/5. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 16.

12. 64 / 10: This fraction simplifies to 32/5.

13. 60 / 16: Simplifying this gives you 15/4. Divide both by 4.
