[tex]\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}[/tex]
What is the ratio in simplest form? 24 mi to 40 mi
[tex]\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}}[/tex]
In the ratio 24 to 40 (24:40), 24 is the numerator:-
[tex]\dfrac{24}{}[/tex]
40 is the denominator:-
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{24}{40}[/tex]
Now we need to simplify this fraction.
Divide the numerator and denominator by 4:-
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
Since the fraction is still not in its simplest form, we need to continue simplifying, but 6 and 10 aren't divisible by 4. They're divisible by 2, so we divide by 2:-
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Now just write ":" instead of the fraction bar:-
3:5
That's the ratio in its simplest form.
