Answer:

The ration is 24:32, or 3:4

Explanation:

I know you don't care about an explanation, and just want the answer, but I'll still explain it.

The total people on the trip are the number of kids+the number of adults. We get 32.

Now, the number of kids on the trip is 24 right? The ratio right now is 24:32. We can simplify this dividing the entire thing by 8, so the number isn't as big. Once we do that, we see that our answer is 3:4

Hope it helped

Have a great day

Answer:

1/4!

Explanation:

8 + 24=32

32 ÷ 8 = 4

8x4=32

There is only one 8 so it would be 1/4

Hope this made sense :)
