A sixth-grade class went on a field trip. There were 24 chaperones and 84 students on the trip. What is the ratio of chaperones to total people who went on the trip? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

24 : 84 = 2 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 24 : 84 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 24 and 84 is 12.

Divide both terms by 12.

24 ÷ 12 = 2

84 ÷ 12 = 7

Therefore:

24 : 84 = 2 : 7
