start with 125/1000 and simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i dont know how to simpluify
Directrix (directrix):
125 = 5 x 5 x 5 where x is multiply (not a variable)
1000 = 2 x 2 x2 x 5 x 5 x 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0.125 simplyfy to lowest term fraction
Directrix (directrix):
So, the next procedure is to divide out like factors.
5 x 5 x 5 all over 2 x 2 x2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 1 /( 2 x 2 x2) = 1 / 8

You're okay. Probably have a case of the heebie-jeebies. It will pass.
Directrix (directrix):
Look and see if the answer makes sense. If not, I can draw it out. BTW, if you are in college or some other learning place, there's most likely a tutoring service that is free. That is, face-to-face.

At least you're back. That takes guts.

fraction ratio of 8 to 9 lowest terms
Directrix (directrix):
8/9. 8 and 9 have no common factors other than 1. There's nothing to divide out. 8/9 is already in lowest terms.
