Question

50× 3/8 how to reduce answer to lowest te

Answer 1

The lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$.

Solution:

Given expression is $50\times\frac{3}{8}$

To reduce this term to the lowest term:

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{50}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator.

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{150}{8}$

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.

So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.

           $=\frac{150\div2}{8\div2}$

           $=\frac{75}{4}$

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{75}{4}$

Hence the lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$.
