In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
Hi,
That means on 2 frogs in some group there are 5 turtles.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
hiii
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply both sides by 3
38/3x x 3 +16/3. x =-20x3
2. Simplfy
38x+16=-60
3. Subtract 16 from both sides
38x+16-16=-60-16
4. Simplfy
38x=-76
5. Divide both sides by 38
38x/38=-76/38
6. Simplfy
x=-2
