If 1800 of 2400 is on fire, what fraction represents this situation?

To find the fraction that represents the situation where 1800 of 2400 is on fire, you need to set up the fraction based on the amount on fire over the total amount.

The fraction can be represented as 1800 (the amount on fire) divided by 2400 (the total amount). This gives us:

[

\frac{1800}{2400}

]

To simplify this fraction, both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 600, which is their greatest common divisor:

[

\frac{1800 \div 600}{2400 \div 600} = \frac{3}{4}

]

Therefore, the simplified fraction is ( \frac{3}{4} ). This fraction indicates that three-quarters of the total amount (2400) is on fire, accurately representing the situation described. The other fractions do not fit the context based on the division of 1800 by 2400.
