Question 1079811
<pre><b>
Have you ever noticed that included within the word FRACTION is 
the word RATIO?  Look at this:

F<font size=6>RA</font>C<font size=6>TIO</font>N?

The numerator of the FRACTION {{{A/B}}} and its denominator are 
always in the RATIO {{{"A:B"}}}.

So the RATIO {{{"6:24"}}} is equivalent to the FRACTION {{{6/24}}} which reduces
to {{{1/4}}}, and the FRACTION {{{1/4}}} is equivalent to the ratio {{{"1:4"}}}.
