Question

what is usually expressed as a fraction, this is way of showing the relative size of two numbers, as when 24/30 is written as 4/5, meaning 24 has as many groups of 4 as 30 has groups of 5.

Answer 1

A ratio

Explanation:

What we have here is a ratio. In a ratio we can explain that 24 has 6 groups of 4 and 30 has 6 groups of 5.

For instance,

We have a growing ratio of
`(4)/(5)` in this sequence:

`(4)/(5)=(8)/(10)=(12)/(15)=(16)/(20)=(20)/(25)=(24)/(30)\\\\`

For this question:

`(4*6)/(5*6)=(24)/(30)`
