Answer 1

Straight from the question, the ratio is  24/18 .

That can be simplified if we can find a common factor
of both numbers.

They have common factors of  1,  2,  3,  and  6 .

Divide the top and bottom by  6, and the simplified form is  4/3 .
 

Answer 2

Sedans: sports coupes= 24:18
= 24/18
= (24/6) / (18/6)
= 4/3
= 4:3

The final answer is D. 4:3~
