Solution

Number of notebooks = 24

Number of books = 18

∴ Ratio of notebooks to books = Number of notebooks : Number of books

= 24 : 18

= $\frac{24}{18}$

= $\frac{24 \div 6}{18 \div 6}$ (HCF of 24 and 18 = 6)

= $\frac{4}{3}$

= 4 : 3

Thus, the ratio of notebooks to books is $\frac{4}{3}$ or 4 : 3.
