Ratios such as x apples to y apples can be written in fraction form as x/y. Usually ratios compare non-like objects like apples and oranges.

Anyways, we can write 24 messages:10 messages as:


`(24)/(10)`

It can thus be simplified. Note, however, that we cannot write this in mixed fraction form because it is a ratio; it must stay in improper form.


`(24)/(10) = (12)/(5)`

Answer 2

Hi there! A ratio is the same thing as a fraction. So, we have a ratio of 24 messages: 10 messages. That would be 24/10. If you want to simplify 24/10 that would be 12/5. But 12/5 as a mixed number would be 2 2/5.
