For simplifying the ratio you need to convert yard into feet ,so that you have same units.
\n" ); document.write( "1 yard=3feet
\n" ); document.write( "so,
\n" ); document.write( "5yards=3*5feet
\n" ); document.write( "5yards=15feet
\n" ); document.write( "Now you can simplify
\n" ); document.write( "15:24(15/3:24/3)
\n" ); document.write( "=>5:8
\n" ); document.write( "So the simplest form of the ratio is 5:8
\n" ); document.write( "hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
