Question

There are 18 oranges and 24 mangos.

Write the simplified ratio of mangos to oranges in 3 different ways.

Answer 1

(3/4) (3:4) (3 oranges to every 4 mangos)

Explanation:

To find an equal ratio you can either multiply or divide each term in the ratio by the same number (except 0) but if you want to find it in simplified form in this case divide by the largest number both can be simplified by. In this case its 6. So if we divide both terms in the ratio by 6 then we get the equal ratio 3:4
