Answer:
(3)/(4)

Explanation:

Given the following fraction:


(18)/(24)

You can observe that the numerator (which is 18) and the denominator (which is 24) are even numbers. Therefore, you can divide them by 2. Then:


=(9)/(12)

Notice now that the numerator 9 and the denominator 12 can be both divided by 3. Therefore, the fraction reduced to its lowest terms is:


=(3)/(4)
