Hi There!

What is 32/48 in SIMPLEST form?

You have to find the largest number that you can divide both numbers by to make the fraction as small as possible. So,
32/16=2
48/16=3
Therefore, 32/48 would be 2/3 simplified because 2/3 can not be reduced anymore by dividing both numbers by the same number (:
