Question

THERE ARE 18 RED CRAYONS

Answer 1

Answer:

3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original ratio between the red and green crayons would be 18:24, but you would need to simplify that to reach your definite simplified answer. Doing this, you find the least common factor between 18 and 24 which is 3 for 18 and 4 for 24.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So to answer this, we must find the greatest common factor(GCF) of 18 adn 24 , then divide by that to get the ratio.

So, what are the factors of 18?

• 2
• 3
• 6
• 9
• 1
• 18

Now what are the factors of 24?

• 2
• 3
• 6
• 8
• 1
• 24

All of these work, but we need to GCF, which is the largest factor that goes into both numbers.

Looking at them, it would be 6.

So lets divide both numbers by 6 and see what we get:

18/6

=

3

24/6

=

4

So now there are 3 red crayons and 4 green crayons.

OR

For every 3 red crayons there are 4 green crayons.

This makes the ratio:

3 : 4

Hope this helps!
