Question

Pat ran 18/24 of the distance to the park what is the fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Well, lets look at the greatest common factor. 18 and 24 both go into 6 evenly and cannot go into 7 evenly, so 6 is the greatest common factor. Then divide both the numerator and denominator. 18÷6=3 and 24÷6=4. The new fraction is 3/4.

Answer 2

18/24 can both be divided by 6, so it's 3/4
