Question

What does that mean???

Answer 1

To make smaller by dividing
4/8 = 1/2
5/20 = 1/4

Answer 2

It means you need to reduce it into a smaller form. Akadivide both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor.

So 4/8 would be 1/2 (common factor = 4)

5/20 would be 1/5 (common factor = 5)
