Question

At the grocery store, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey bought 24 apples and 18 pears. Write a ratio in simplest form to compare apples and pears.

Answer 1

4:3

Explanation:

Legit just simplified it.The original ratio is 24:18. First found the greatest common multiple (GCF) and divided both by it. In this case it was 6. So 24/6 = 4 and 18/6 = 3. Now your newly simplified ratio of apples to pears is 4:3.
