Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form.

30 : 48

Answer 1

Your answer would be 5/8. Hope I helped you. 

Answer 2

A ratio of a:b can be expressed as a fraction
`(a)/(b)`.
We have the ratio 30:48 which can be expressed as
`(30)/(48)`.

To simplify a fraction, you find a number that will evenly divide into both the top and bottom of the fraction.

After a while, I found the number. It is 6.


`(30)/(48) / (6)/(6) = (5)/(8)`

So, the answer is 5/8.
