Answer:

c) The reduced form of the given fraction
(24)/(30) =  (4)/(5)

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is "24 over 30".

The given expression is is equivalent to
(24)/(30)

Now by Prime Factorization:

24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

30 = 2 x 3 x 5

The common factors in 24 and 30 is 2 x 3 = 6

So,
(24)/(30)  = (2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3)/(2 * 3 * 5)   = (6 * 4)/(6 * 5)   = (4)/(5)

Hence the reduced form of the given fraction
(24)/(30) =  (4)/(5)
