D.Atahualpa
"On 17 November the Spaniards sacked the Inca army camp, in which they found great treasures of gold, silver, and emeralds. Noticing their lust for precious metals, Atahualpa offered to fill a large room about 22 feet (6.7 m) long and 17 feet (5.2 m) wide up to a height of 8 feet (2.4 m) once with gold and twice with silver within two months. It is commonly believed that Atahualpa offered this ransom to regain his freedom; however, it seems likelier that he did so to avoid being killed, as none of the early chroniclers mention any commitment by the Spaniards to free Atahualpa once the metals were delivered." -
Answer:
17:6
Explanation:
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 68 and 24 is 4
Divide both terms by the GCF, 4:
68 ÷ 4 = 17
24 ÷ 4 = 6
The ratio 68 : 24 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 4 :
68 : 24 = 17 : 6
Therefore:
68 : 24 = 17 : 6
Effect: Bourbon monarchs ruled France until the 1792 overthrow of the monarchy during the French Revolution
