Answer:


(3)/(8)

Explanation:

To simplify the fraction
(24)/(64), we need to find its greatest common factor.

Both 24 and 64 are divisible by 2, but that's not the biggest.

Both 24 and 64 are divisible by 4, but that's not the biggest either.

Both 24 and 64 are divisible by 8, and that's the highest we can go.

So:


(24/8)/(64/8) = (3)/(8).

Hope this helped!
