$\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$

Explanation:

The ratio $\frac{30}{45}$ $30/45$ is not in simplest terms (meaning the numerator and denominator have nothing in common), so to find a ratio equivalent, you must reduce the fraction.

So first, you must think to yourself, what do $30$ $30$ and $45$ $45$ have in common? Since they both have $5$ $5$ in common, you would need to divide $30$ $30$ by $5$ $5$ , and $45$ $45$ by $5$ $5$ .

$\frac{30 \div 5}{45 \div 5}$ $(30-:5)/(45-:5)$

You are left with the fraction or ration $\frac{6}{9}$ $6/9$ , which is equivalent to $\frac{30}{45}$ $30/45$ . However, this can be reduced even more, since $6$ $6$ and $9$ $9$ both are divisible by $3$ $3$ .

$\frac{6 \div 3}{9 \div 3}$ $(6-:3)/(9-:3)$

Now, your final answer is $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$
