Simplify 2p-24/4p-48. Show your work. The answer is 1/2, exclued 12

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
 $\frac{2p-24}{4p-48}$
 Factoring the expression we have:
 $\frac{2(p-12)}{4(p-12)}$
 We now cancel similar terms:
 $\frac{2}{4}$
 Finally, simplifying the expression we have:
 $\frac{1}{2}$
 Answer:
 $\frac{1}{2}$
