Answer 1

ratio of adults to children in SIMPLEST form would be 3:7

Explanation:

To simplify a ratio you have to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of each number in the ratio and divide. In this example, the original ratio would be 24:56 the GCF of 24 would be 9, and the GCF of 56 would be 8. And then you would divide those numbers and get 3:7
