Write the ratio
(18/30)as a fraction in simplest form.
Divide the numerator and denominator by 6.
To write the ratio (18/30) as a fraction in simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, which is the largest number that divides both of them evenly.
In this case, the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18, and the factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30.
The largest number that divides both 18 and 30 evenly is 6. So, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6:
(18 ÷ 6) / (30 ÷ 6) = 3/5
Therefore, the ratio (18/30) written as a fraction in simplest form is 3/5.
