What is usually expressed as a fraction, showing the relative size of two numbers, such as when \( \frac{24}{30} \) is written as \( \frac{4}{5} \), meaning 24 has as many groups of 4 as 30 has groups of 5?

Answer :

Answer:

A ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have here is a ratio. In a ratio we can explain that 24 has 6 groups of 4 and 30 has 6 groups of 5.

For instance,

We have a growing ratio of [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] in this sequence:

[tex]\frac{4}{5}=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{12}{15}=\frac{16}{20}=\frac{20}{25}=\frac{24}{30}\\\\[/tex]

For this question:

[tex]\frac{4*6}{5*6}=\frac{24}{30}[/tex]
