108 people 12 days
the people:days=108:12
BUT this is not simplified of course
We simplify ratios like a fraction.
We can see that both numbers are divisible by 12
So we can do
108÷12/12÷12=9/1 (answer)
To know that both are divisible by 12 isn't hard as long as you are observant and are good with numbers and the divisibility rules of 2 and 3.
