24 goes first before 6 in the problem above.we are finding the ratio, so we divide. the ratio form becomes. 24 to 6

becomes 24 over 6. or 24/6.

next divide each number with something they can be divided with the same number.

the number would be 6. 24 divided by 6 = 4.


and 6 divided by 6 = 1.

so which choice? is it 4 to 1 or 1 to 4?

to find the answer, what number was first in the problem? was it 24 or 6?

It was 24. so the answer is 4 to 1

do this method with other problems too!

Hope This Helps And Answers Your Question!
