Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form. 30 : 48

Answer 1

A ratio of a:b can be expressed as a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$.
We have the ratio 30:48 which can be expressed as $\frac{30}{48}$.

To simplify a fraction, you find a number that will evenly divide into both the top and bottom of the fraction.

After a while, I found the number. It is 6.

$\frac{30}{48} / \frac{6}{6} = \frac{5}{8}$

So, the answer is 5/8.
