In simplest form @bobpursley
To find the ratio of the number of tickets Jeanne sold to the number of tickets Jake sold, we need to divide the number of tickets Jeanne sold by the number of tickets Jake sold.
The number of tickets Jeanne sold is 21, and the number of tickets Jake sold is 28. So, the ratio is 21/28.
To simplify this ratio to its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers and divide both numerator and denominator by it. In this case, the GCD of 21 and 28 is 7.
Dividing both 21 and 28 by 7, we get:
21/7 = 3
28/7 = 4
Therefore, the simplest form of the ratio is 3/4.
So, the answer is A) 3/4.
