10/8 in simplest form:
First, we can start off by finding the GCF of the denominator and the numerator. To do so, we need to list the factors of each of them and find the common ones.
Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
We can see that our common factors are 1 and 2, considering that both the numerator and denominator has the same factors (1 and 2). Since we have our common factors, we need to find the greatest. Which is the greatest out of 1 and 2? The GCF is 2 because it is bigger than 1.
Second, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF (2).

Third, now we can revise our fraction and turn it into the simplest form. Take the two numbers you just got above us and put them in their numerator and denominator spot. You should get:

Answer in mixed number form:
Answer:
40x30= 1200, 20x15=300, 300/1200= 1/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can also visualize it. Imagine a field 40’ long and the boy cut the top 20’ of it but left 20’ of the bottom, he would have cut half of it at this point. Now it’s 30’ wide and he cut the left 15’ of what’s remaining but left the right 15’ uncut. So now there’s a 20’x15’ bottom right corner left uncut. There are 4 sections that are 20’x15’ and he left one out of four uncut, otherwise written as 1/4.
Is this calculus or something?
