Question

A math test has 12 multiplication problems and 24 division problems.

What is the ratio value of multiplication problems to division problems?

Type your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

12 is half of 24. Therefore, the answer as a fraction in simplest form is 1/2.

Answer 2

12:24 = 1:2

Explanation:

Since there are 12 multiplication problems, and 24 division problems, the ratio of multiplication and division problems are 12:24, now we need to put it in simplest form.

We need to find the highest number of which both are divisible by, 12 and 24 are both divisible by 12.

So 12÷12 = 1, and 24÷12 = 2, so 12:24 in simplest form is 1/2 or 1:2.
