OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 is 2*2*3 OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 27 is 3*3*3, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (curry):

2/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO u have 12 by 2 on top and 7 by 27 on bottom is 2*2*3*2/7*3*3*3 and u cancal 3 top and bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would the answer be 2/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO then u have (after u cancel the 3) 2*2*2/7*3*3 and nothing more to cancel so 8/63.
