Question

Write the ratio 20 : 24 in simplest form

Answer 1

Welcome to OpenStudy!! :D
Now here is a question where we have to decompose it to its most elemental stage!
Let us say we had 5:10
The simplest form would be when 'We DIVIDE BOTH THE NUMERATOR AND THE DENOMINATOR' by a common number [In this case, 2]
So it could be broken down to 1:@
Now coming to your question what number do you think can break both the numerator and the denominator? :)
