Answer:
7 : 8
Explanation:
Let us rewrite the ratio as a fraction
[tex]\frac{2.8}{2.4}[/tex]multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 10 gives
[tex]\frac{2.8\times10}{2.4\times10}=\frac{28}{24}[/tex]now we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to get
[tex]\frac{28\div2}{24\div2}=\frac{14}{12}[/tex]dividing further by 2 gives
[tex]\frac{14\div2}{12\div2}=\frac{7}{6}[/tex]which cannot be reduced any further, and thereofre it is our final result.
Hence, the ratio given can be represented as 7/ 6.
