How can you use the GCF of the numerator and the denominator to write a fraction in simplest form?

1 answer:

7 0

Take an example

14 / 20

the GCF of 14 and 20 = 2 ( 20 = 2^2 * 5 and 14 = 2*7 so 2 is the GCF)

so we can divide top and bottom of the fraction by 2 to give 7/10 = simplest form

John bought 18 erasers.

Explanation: He has $6.00

He spends $3.12 on notebooks
Then you do $6.00 - $3.12 and you get $2.88

If it’s ¢16 per eraser and he has no money left over after buying erasers than you would divide $2.88 by $0.16 which turns into 288 divided by 16 which comes out to 18.
