    Step-by-step explanation:

    The question is asking what the ratio of jump ropes to students is.

    The order of the question matters.

    Since they ask for the jump ropes first and then the students, we

    get a ratio of 18:54.

    Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

    The GCF is 18.

    Divide 18:54 by 18.

    18/18=1

    54/18=3

    The answer is 1:3.

    54 : 18 = 3 : 1

    The ratio is not in lowest terms so we found an equivalent ratio by simplifying.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    you can simplify the ratio 54 : 18 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

    The GCF of 54 and 18 is 18.

    Divide both terms by 18.

    54 : 18 = 3

    18 : 18 = 1

    Therefore:

    54 : 18 = 3 : 1
