Hint: "No Specific Answer" means we are not given the final answer and we must figure it out for ourselves. This is good. Never look at that, even if it is given.

6*6=36 and8*5=45

actually \(8\times 5=40\)

Answer 10

what i was asking was, can you think of ONE number that goes in to both 36 and 45

Answer 11

Once you find the number that goes into both 36 and 45 you divide that number into 36 and 45 to get your new fraction. If the fraction is something like 5/10 then you would simplify that again to get 1/2, which can't be simplified.

Answer 12

For instance 5 is a multiple of 15 and 20 so they would be simplified to 3/4.

Answer 13

Well, since both of these numbers have 9 as the highest common denominator you could divide 36 by 9 and get 4, and 45 divided by 9 and get 5. Now that you have divided you would match the the numbers with what you divided it by. For instance, you would get 4/5.

Answer 14

Sorry meant highest common factor

Answer 15

Answer 20

We can't just give you the answer. OpenStudy will suspend our account if we do. You have to do at least something to figure out the answer yourself. Figuring out which number goes into 36 and 45 really isn't that hard.
