Answer 4

what do the 9 (numerator) and the 27 (denominator) have in common? what factor?

Answer 5

3

Answer 6

hmm that could work, but it is a longer way.
That is why i asked for the greatest, yes 3 is a factor, but what is the greatest common factor?

Answer 7

idk

Answer 8

This is when you take out the factor of 3.
\[\frac{ 9 \div 3 }{ 27 \div 3 } = \frac{ 3 }{ 9 }\]

As you see, that is still not the simplest/reduced form.

Answer 9

soo show me plz

Answer 10

Can you try it?

Answer 11

i dont understand it

Answer 12

what exactly do you not understand?

Answer 13

the whole thing

Answer 14

So you said to take out a factor of 3 from both the numerator and denominator and you get the following: \(\frac{ 9 \div 3 }{ 27 \div 3 } = \frac{ 3 }{ 9 }\)

But \[\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }\] is still not the simplest, most reduced form.

So you still need to factor out something else.
(what do the 3 (numerator) and the 9 (denominator) have in common? what factor?

Answer 15

You could have just factored out the GCF, which in this case is 9. This would have made it more easier and simpler + get you to the answer faster.

3 is a factor of 9 and 27 but it is not the GCF (Greatest common factor).
9 is the GCF.

So it would be like the following: \(\frac{ 9 }{ 27 } \rightarrow \frac{ 9 \div 9}{ 27 \div 9 } \rightarrow ?\)
