Homework Help: math

Posted by Bart on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 8:56pm.

I have no idea how to do this:
Express the ratio in simplest form.

5 yards to 24 feet

convert yards to feet: 12 x 5 = 60 ft.

Would the answer be 60:24 ? is this the simplest form if the answer is correct?

1 yard = 3 feet
5 yards = 15 feet

15/24 = 5/8
