Question

Which is the simplified form of 6 to 2?

1 to 4

one-third

3 to 1

four colon one

Answer 1

Find the greatest common factor.

Answer 2

So you know the GCF is 2 itself. So you would have to divide 6/2=3 and 2/2=1. So the reduced term will be 3/1.

Answer 3

oh ok ok thank you so much :) i still have a couple of other questions i'm having trouble with though i'll ask someone else!

Answer 4

3 to 1

Answer 5

\(\dfrac{6}{2} \)

\(= \dfrac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 1} \)

\(= \dfrac{2}{2} \times \dfrac{3}{1} \)

\(= 1 \times \dfrac{3}{1} \)

\(= \dfrac{3}{1} \)
