What is 54:24 simplified

Question

do this please need help

Answer 1

To simplify this you need to know the common multiples of both numbers.

54 : 24

 

So, first we can see that both numbers can be divided by 2. So:

54 : 24

54/2 : 24/2

27 : 12

 

Now (if you know your multiplication tables ) you can see that both numbers can be divided by 3. So:

27 : 12

27/3 : 12/3

9 : 4

 

Now, since 9 and 4 have no other common multiples, this is the answer fully simplified.    

Answer 2

9:4 is the answer
