Question

What is the simplest form for the ratio of 24:48 and how

Answer 1

It’s 1:2 because you have to divide by the GCF (Greatest common factor) which in this case is 24 which gives you 1:2

Answer 2

For 24 / 48 simplest form find the maximum common divisor ( m.c.d)

In this special case ( but this not common) 24 divides exactly 48

so then 24/24 = 1. And 48/24= 2.

then the simplest form is 24/48= 1/2
