OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

\[\frac {12}{15} = \frac {x}{5}\] We are basically solving for this.

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

so cross mutiply

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Not necessary. You can divide the denominators to find the ratio and apply it to 12.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

15 --> 5 15/5 = ?

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

3

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

When you find that, divide it into 12 and you have your simplified fraction.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

This is literally the same thing as finding the GCF and simplifying.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yes, now divide that into 12 and that is the simplified numerator, or 'x'.

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

so 12/3

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

so 4

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yes.
