notice how 30/24 = 5/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So you need to find out which other pair of numbers create a fraction to reduce to 5/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in choice A, we have 14/8 = 7/4 so choice A is out

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

choice B is 15/10 = 3/2, so that choice is out see how I'm doing this?
