How do i simplify each fraction 5/10 4/12 3/9 how do i solve by doing what steps

Answer 1

5/10 divide each number by 5, 5 divided by 5 is 1 and 10 divided by 5 is two so it would be 1/2

4/12 divide each number by 4, four divided by 4 is 1, and 12 divided by 4 is 3 so it would be 1/3

3/9 divide each number by 3, 3 divided by 3 is 1, and 9 divided by 3 is 3 or it would also be 1/3

Hope that helped you

Answer 2

5 and 10 have a least common multiple of 5 and so u just divide the nominator and denominator by 5


Do the same with the next problems however dont use 5 as the lcm ( least common multiple ) find it out by listing all multiples
