Answer:

12 : 7 : 3

Explanation:

24 : 14 : 6

12 : 7 : 3

Always start with smaller number to simplify it. Since 2 is the smaller number and it simplifies 24, 14, and 6 I start with it.

24 ÷ 2 = 12

14 ÷ 2 = 7

6 ÷ 2 = 3

We would stop here since it would not further simplify, therefore our answer is 12 : 7 : 3.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
