Question

do u now how to write each fraction with lowest terms

Answer 1

keep reducing till you cant reduce no more

Answer 2

i tried but i dont now

Answer 3

whats the fraction you are working with

Answer 4

like 25/30

Answer 5

ok.... is there a number that both 25 and 30 have in common that we can "factor" out?

Do you know what Im saying?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

think about it now. What do you multiply to get 25? What do you multiply to get 30?

(1)(25) = 25
(5)(5) = 25

(1)(30) = 30
(2)(15) = 30
(3)(10) = 30
(5)(6) = 30

What number do you see that 25 and 30 have in common?

Answer 8

5*5=25 5*6=30

Answer 9

Very good :)

we take out the (5) from each one to get 5/6. And that is what it is in lowest terms because 5 and 6 have nothing left in common.

Does that make sense?

Answer 10

so the answer is 5/5

Answer 11

Not quite. Do you see what I did with this?

25/5 5
----- = ---
30/5 6

Answer 12

ohh the answer is 5/6

Answer 13

Yes it is,

Now, do you SEE why it is 5/6?

Tell me what I did to get that answer please

Answer 14

u multiplyed both

Answer 15

multiplied? or divided? or how are you understanding it? Teach me how we got the answer :)

Answer 16

u multiplied to see wat times wat gives u the answer

Answer 17

very good. Now, can we do another one?

Answer 18

but wat about 46/9

Answer 19

for get it

Answer 20

since 9 is the smallest number; what do we know about it?

1(9) = 9
3(3) = 9

9(?) = 46? Nothing.
3(?) = 46? hmmm.... nothing.

If you typed in the correct numbers:

46
----
9

Have nothing in common. So it is already in lowest terms.
