Answer 2

Hello there,
27/54
As you can see from the fraction, you can say that 27 is a factor of 54. And 27 multiplied by 2 is 54
How I solve it:
Numerator : Denominator
27              :     54
Divide 27 from both sides

Numerator : Denominator
1                : 2
Thus the answer is $\frac{1}{2}$
Hope this helps
