Question

How do you simplify 100 over 49?

Answer 1

u cant or u get fraction

Answer 2

To simplify a ratio, factor the top and the bottom.\[\frac{100}{49}=\frac{2^25^2}{7^2}\]For this specific fraction, nothing can reduce as there are no common factors.

Answer 3

but it says to simplify 100 over 49?

Answer 4

It's technically not simplification, but 10² = 100 and 7² = 49, so \(\dfrac{100}{49} = \left(\dfrac{10}{7}\right)^2\).

Answer 8

That's it. Again, it's not simplification, so...

It's not 10 over 7. You can't cancel exponents.

Okay, well thank you guys for your help.

Answer 19

Glad we helped.

Answer 20

Another explanation for geerky42's simplification, using what I had earlier:\[\frac{5^22^2}{7^2}=(\frac{5^12^1}{7^1})^2=(\frac{10}{7})^2\]
