Question

Express the ratio below in its simplest form 24:36

Answer 1

4:6

Explanation:

We can find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 24 and 26, which is 6.

Then we can divide both sides by 6, and we get 4:6.

Answer 2

24:36 can be reduced to 2:3

The GCF of 24 and 36 is 12

Divide both terms by the GCF, 12:24 ÷ 12 = 236 ÷ 12 = 3

The ratio 24 : 36 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 12 :24 : 36 = 2 : 3

Therefore: 24 : 36 = 2 : 3
