Which of the following statements is true?
A. 1:5 = 3:7
B. 2:3 = 7:8
C.8:24 = 1:3
D. 9:12 = 2:12

​

Sagot :

C. 8 : 24 = 1 : 3

SOLUTION:

Lets try to solve the ratio 8 : 24.

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 8 and 24 is 8

Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:

  • 8 ÷ 8 = 1
  • 24 ÷ 8 = 3

The ratio 8 : 24 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :

  • 8 : 24 = 1 : 3

Therefore:

  • 8 : 24 = 1 : 3

TRUE!
