Answer:

Part 1)
(3)/(1) or
3:1

Part 2)
(5)/(24) or
5:24

Part 3)
(6)/(5) or
6:5

Explanation:

Part 1) we have


1.44 : 0.48

Rewrite


(1.44)/(0.48)

Multiply by 100 both numerator and denominator


(144)/(48)

Simplify


(3)/(1) or
3:1

Part 2) we have


15/28:18/7

Multiply the term 18/7 by 4 both numerator and denominator


(18*4)/(7*4)=(72)/(28)

substitute


15/28:72/28

simplify


15:72

Rewrite


(15)/(72)

Simplify


(5)/(24) or
5:24

Part 3) we have


2.4:6/5

Remember that


6/5=1.2

substitute


2.4:1.2

Simplify

Divide by 1.2 both numbers


1.2:1

Rewrite


(1.2)/(1)

Multiply by 10 both numerator and denominator


(1.2*10)/(1*10)=(12)/(10)

Simplify


(6)/(5) or
6:5
