To express the ratio of 0.24 to 0.32 as a fraction in simplified form, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor. Converting to fractions, 0.24 is $\frac{24}{100}$ and 0.32 is $\frac{32}{100}$. Simplifying both fractions by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 8 (the greatest common divisor of 24 and 32), we get $\frac{3}{4}$ for the simplified ratio.
