Ok, so you want to figure out what the greatest common factor is between them. \[\frac{24 trees}{14 trees}\] What would you have if you were to divide each of those numbers by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/2 right?

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[\frac{\frac{24}{2}}{\frac{12}{2}}=?\]

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What does 14/2 give you, MAYSTEPH?

OpenStudy (austinl):

Excuse me, 14/2 is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea...

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What's 14 divided by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Good. So: \[\large \large \frac{ 24 }{ 14 } = \frac{ 12 }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Can it be simplify anymore?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Good.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
