i have no idea how to do this......

Answer 3

@jabez177

Answer 4

When two quantities always have the same size in relation to each other. In other words they have the same ratio.

Answer 5

it just wants to know which ones are the same as that given one, right?

Answer 6

Ummmm..............I think so...............

Answer 7

some constant times your fraction

\[k*\frac{ 8 }{ 18 }\]

Answer 8

I think it might be A

Answer 9

they gave you answers to pick

set them each equal to the given one, and cross multiply and see if it is true

Answer 10

Incorrect.... we first would find the simplified fraction of the fraction in the question....

so factors of 8 are 1,2,4,8 while factors of 16 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Answer 11

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 8 }{ 18 }\]

40 = 36, nope, not one of the answers

Answer 12

Ohhh ok

Answer 13

Now we choose on in which both have the same highest factor....so which factor that is the largest do they both contain...

Answer 14

ekkkk................IDK

Answer 15

8 and 18 are the highest

Answer 16

does 20/45 = 8/18
cross multiply

20*18 = 45*8
360 = 360

true

Answer 17

wait is the answer C

Answer 18

ohhhhh

Answer 19

They both are divisible by 2 so \[\frac{ 8 }{ 18 }\div \frac{ 2 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 20

^ Exactly what I was going to do. :)

Answer 21

wait so..........Im sorta confuesed

Answer 22

So we are able to count out A and B since they are both already in their simplified forms....so all we need to do is simplify C and D....

Answer 23

Just divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 and you will get your answer. :)

Answer 24

Wait. Nvm.

Answer 25

i would just set 8/18 = to each choice, see if its true by cross multiplying,

Answer 26

or 4/9 if you will

Answer 27

idk what to do???????

Answer 28

@Jaynator495

Answer 29

sorry my internet is not working right...one sec

Answer 30

ok

Answer 31

@just_one_last_goodbye

Answer 32

yo ^-^

Answer 33

is it the first question?

Answer 34

yes

Answer 35

in the same proportion, proportional fractions here, means which are the same

Answer 36

in the same ratio

Answer 37

\[\frac{ a }{ b }=\frac{ c }{ d }\]

does a*d = b*c

if yes, they are proportional fractions

Answer 38

so 16/26 doesn't wokr

Answer 39

*work

Answer 40

Reduce to lowest terms and just look at them.

8/18 = 4/9 (reduced by 2)
2/5 = 2/5 (already minimal)
4/5 = 4/5 (already minimal)
16/26 = 8/13 (reduced by 2)
20/45 = 4/9 (reduced by 5)

Find common factors and reduce until there are none.

Answer 41

it isn't 16/26 it is 16/36 so yea if you doing 8/18

Answer 42

the answer is c

Answer 43

I am telling the truth none of those things you asked are right

Answer 44

I'm still connfuesed

Answer 45

I am telling you this 18/36 would be the right answer

Answer 46

you got a proportion for example 1/2 = 2/4

Answer 47

but that's not the answer chioce

Answer 48

that is an example

Answer 49

the answer is 18/36

Answer 50

@malcolmmcswain

Answer 51

or 4/9 ask teacher

Answer 52

or a multiple of 16/36

Answer 53

I am teaching my teacher in class all the time

Answer 54

@tygrr321

Answer 55

my teacher gave me a 73% and I need to start telling her the right answers and what not

Answer 56

she ain't smart

Answer 57

I'm going with D

Answer 58

as I thought with checking

Answer 59

well

Answer 60

@sydneymmelin

Stop tagging people and start showing your work.

Reduce this fraction. 2/4

If you cannot do it, you cannot solve this problem, except by throwing darts and getting lucky.

Answer 61

I guess so

Answer 62

that would be correct but not really right in a sense

Answer 63

D is correct though in a sense

Answer 64

not in all ways of teaching it is correct depends on what your teacher says

Answer 65

but go for it

Answer 66

I am in middle school so I don't have too much work

Answer 67

I am going with 20/45 bc if you cross multiply 8/18 like @DanJS said you would get 360 on both sides

Answer 68

true

Answer 69

I guess you go with that

Answer 70

it isn't right but do it since it is the closest to correct answer

Answer 71

since it is usually a multiple or a factor of the main fraction but it is still correct

Answer 72

can I get medal?

Answer 73

no

Answer 74

why not?

Answer 75

because you didn't help much

Answer 76

That's okay, Liam. Sydney won't get a medal either, because even less help came from the OP. Next time, Sydney, show YOUR work.

Answer 77

LOL I gave dan a medal bc he helped

Answer 78

Except for tagging people, this is essentially your contribution to this discussion:

I have no idea how to do this......
I think it might be A
ekkkk................IDK
8 and 18 are the highest
wait is the answer C
wait so..........Im sorta confused
idk what to do???????
so 16/26 doesn't work
I'm still connfuesed
but that's not the answer choice
I'm going with D
I am going with 20/45 bc if you cross multiply 8/18 like @DanJS said you would get 360 on both sides

This is a standard pattern for getting other people to do your work for you. Do better.

Answer 79

yeah, not as bad as,,
"I think it is (Letter)" .. hah..

Answer 80

wow thnkas

Answer 81

thanks someones not getting a nedal

Answer 82

Just the facts. I have no need to make any other presentation.
