Question

how do you write this ratio 24 messages: 10 messages as a fraction

Answer 1

Hi there! A ratio is the same thing as a fraction. So, we have a ratio of 24 messages: 10 messages. That would be 24/10. If you want to simplify 24/10 that would be 12/5. But 12/5 as a mixed number would be 2 2/5.

Ratios such as x apples to y apples can be written in fraction form as x/y.  Usually ratios compare non-like objects like apples and oranges.

Anyways, we can write 24 messages:10 messages as:

$\frac{24}{10}$

It can thus be simplified.  Note, however, that we cannot write this in mixed fraction form because it is a ratio; it must stay in improper form.

$\frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5}$
