You divide it to make it a decimal, and you simplify it to make it smaller.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you use a calculator?
OpenStudy (secret-ninja):
You have to find out if you can divide the top and bottom numbers by the same number.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 can only be divisible by even numbers, So just divide it using your calculator.
OpenStudy (secret-ninja):
You can divide both by 1, but that will give you what you already have. If you divide by 2, 27 will be a decimal, so it won't work. 2/27 is already simplified.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wow
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So just use the calculator 2/ 27 =0.074
OpenStudy (secret-ninja):
^ thats for the decimal. :)
