The answer that correctly shows the ratio of this comparison.
Solution:
We know that,
Number of quarters = 8
Number of pennies = 24
The ratio of this comparison is:
[tex]Ratio=\dfrac{Quarters}{Pennies}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio=\dfrac{8}{24}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio=1:3[/tex]
Therefore, the required ratio is 8:24 and its simplified form is 1:3.
