Question

Explain using words or drawings how to to write 6/9 in simplest form

Answer 1

To reduce down a fraction you can try to find factors that go in both the numerator (top # of fraction) and denominator (bottom #)

So, for 6/9, 3 goes in both of them. When you divide each number by 3 you get:

2/3

Answer 2

Hi there!

I can't post a drawing for this, but I will try to explain using my own words on what 6/9 is in it's simplest form.

The number three can go into 6 and 9. Three goes into 6 twice, and it goes into 9 three times.

So our simplified answer is 2/3.
In decimal form this is 0.66666667 (repeating decimal but rounded off to 0.6667)

Hope this helps!
