Question

Can 5 over 48 be simplified

Answer 1

To simplify a fraction, you would have to divide the top and bottom by the same number.

For example, 3/6 would be simplified when you divide both by 3. 3 ÷ 3 = 1. 6÷3=2. So it would be simplified to 1/2.

So the answer would be no, 5/48 cannot be simplified because they wont divide equally to the same number. Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

No it cannot since 5/48 does not make a whole number
