Question

I NEED HELP simplifying. .-.

Answer 1

figure it out .

Answer 2

Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)
what would you like to simplify?

Answer 3

Fractions .. 12 over 30

Answer 4

cool :)

so what factors do 12 and 30 have in common?
like what number can they both be divided by?

Answer 5

3.? i don't know :/

Answer 6

yeah! :) we can do 3

so 12 divided by 3 = 4
and 30 divided by 3 = 10

so you can get that the fraction 12 over 30 = 4 over 10

see where I'm going with this? ;)

Answer 7

Yess thank you (:

Answer 8

then you look if fraction 4 over 10 can be simplified more!

so what factor does 4 and 10 have in common?

Answer 9

2

Answer 10

yep :)

so 4 divided by 2 = 2
and 10 divided by 2 = 5

so you've gotten 12 over 30 = 4 over 10 = 2 over 5

then you would check to see if 2 and 5 have any factors in common
which they don't ;)

so you're left with 2 over 5 as simplified :)
