Which fraction expresses -16/28 in lowest terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

easiest way since they are both even is to divide top and bottom by 2. -16/28 = 8/14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you divide both top and bottom by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg both are an answer choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No you keep doing it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -4/7 because 8/14 can still be simplified further down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you would have -8/14 and you can still divide both sides by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would also finally give you -4/7

ok thanks
