usukidoll · Answer

both of them belong to the five times table

and both numbers are divisible by 5

usukidoll · Answer

oh wait what the heck I'm doing it the hard way 
yup sorry both numbers are also divisible by 25

usukidoll · Answer

so all we need is 
25 divided by 25
--------------------
100 divided by 25


it's similar to 
solving 
25 x 1 =?
25 x 4 =?

imqwerty · Answer

100=25 x 4

nd we have 25/100 

we can write it as = 25/(2x25)

can we cancel any terms from the numerator and denominator?? @tatiana.woodson

usukidoll · Answer

I think I gave it out 

25 x 1 = 25
25/25 = 1

25 x 4 = 100
100/25 = 4

so the reduced fraction is..........

25/25
---------
100/25
