Question

There are 36 apples in a bag. If Yuri takes out 6 of the apples, in simplest form, what fraction of the apples did he take out of the bag?

Answer 1

1/6

Answer 2

Well he took 6 of the 36 apples, which is 6 / 36.
36 = 6 * 6
This means that we can divide them by 6
6 / 6 = 1
36 / 6 = 6

6/36 = 1/6
