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.

Good luck.
