okay thanks

anonymous · Answer

sure thing :)

anonymous · Answer

how about 12/40 does that have a lowest term ?

anonymous · Answer

yes...now that will reduce. When you have 2 even numbers you can start by dividing each by 2 giving you : 12/40 = 6/20 (divide again by 2) giving you : 3/10...which can reduce no more. So the simpliest term of 12/40 = 3/10

anonymous · Answer

lol okay , -6/11*3/4 does that have a lowest form ?

anonymous · Answer

-6/11 * 3/4 --- when multiplying fractions, just multiply straight across..but pay attention to your signs. When the signs are the same, it is positive and when the signs are different, it is negative.

-6            3           -18                             -9
---    x   ---   =  ---- which reduces to ---- <== this does not reduce
 11           4            44                              22

anonymous · Answer

so lowest term of : -6/11 * 3/4 = -9/22
