Answer:
36 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the ratio given to you to help find your answer
We know the ratio has to be 3:2
And both numbers LCM is 12
So lets start with multiples 12 becuase we know it’s a guaranteed LCM of 12.
so So 12 can’t work becuase there is already a 2 in the ratio and 12 has to go in the number 2 times and 12 only goes into 12 once
24 works since 12 goes into 24 twice
Now for the “3” Ratio
We know 12 can’t work since it goes in once
24 won’t work cuase it goes in twice
36 works
So its 36 and 24
We can check
The lcm of 36 and 24 is 12
And when you simplify them
you get 3:2
Becuase since the LCM is 12
36/12=3
24/12=2
3:2
And we know it’s lcm becuase we can’t simplify it anymore
