how do you write this ratio 24 messages: 10 messages as a fraction
Hi there! A ratio is the same thing as a fraction. So, we have a ratio of 24 messages: 10 messages. That would be 24/10. If you want to simplify 24/10 that would be 12/5. But 12/5 as a mixed number would be 2 2/5.

Ratios such as x apples to y apples can be written in fraction form as x/y. Usually ratios compare non-like objects like apples and oranges.
Anyways, we can write 24 messages:10 messages as:
\(\frac{24}{10}\)
It can thus be simplified. Note, however, that we cannot write this in mixed fraction form because it is a ratio; it must stay in improper form.
\(\frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5}\)
