<span>First we need to find the GCF (greatest common factor)</span>
<span>Factors of 42 are:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42</span>
<span>Factors of 48 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48</span>
<span>GCF is 6</span>
<span>To simplify you divide numerator and denominator into the GCF</span>
<span>42 ÷ 6 = 7</span>
<span>48 ÷ 6 = 8</span>
<span>42/48 = 7/8</span>
<span>Hope this helps. :)

No. Let's say we use 10 and 0.38. 1 X 10 is 10, so if anything is lower than 1, it will be lower than 10. Therefore, 0.38 X 10 is 3.8. This is less than the whole number, 10. Hope this is clear enough.
I believe they are called the "Legs." They are also referred to as the opposite and adjacent sides. :)
You can only show 2 halves in a square, because the definition of a half is that there are 2 parts.
A proper fraction<span> is a </span>fraction<span> where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator</span>
