Which of the following fractions is in simplest form? 6/20 8/14 9/16 15/35
ok for all of those, if the numbers are both even, then they are divisible by 2, i alr told you this
then, find the factors of each number. if they have one in common, divide by tht number
so 6/20 both of them are even, so start with dividing by 2. this means it's not in simplest form
9/16 because all the others can be divided by 2
8/14 they're both even so same thing
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angelwolf 9/16 because all the others can be divided by 2 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 15/35 can not be divided evenly by 2
true but that's literally what you said to divide by two
anyways, for 9/16 they dont seem to have any factors so this is an option and for 15/35 the GCF of them is 5, so it is divisible meaning it is not in simplest form meaning 9/16 is correct
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angelwolf true but that's literally what you said to divide by two \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) if they were both even i said to. neither 15 nor 35 is even....
