Question:Reduce 22/30 to the lowest terms and write the numerator in the blank. What does this mean.

Answer 1

Both 22 and 30 are divisible by 2, so divide both 22 and 30 by 2.

22/30 = 11/15

11 is a prime number, so it has no factor other than 1 and 11, so the fraction is reduced to lowest terms.

The numerator is 11.
