Question

2. Which fraction is in its simplest form? 2/4 2/8 2/6 2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 / 4 could be divided by two in both sides.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

4 ÷ 2 = 2

2/4 = 1/2

Same goes for 2/8 and 2/6

2 ÷ 2 = 1

8 ÷ 2 = 4

2/8 = 1/4

2 ÷ 2 = 1

6 ÷ 2 = 3

2/6 = 1/3

2/5 however, could not be divided by two on both sides because there is 5 and it is not a factor of 2. So it is in its simplest form

Answer 2

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: 2/5 cannot be simplified any further because there is no number that will go into both of them equally. 2/4, 2/8, and 2/6 all have even numerators and denominators, so they are all divisible by 2. 2 only goes into the numerator in the fraction 2/5, thus, it is in its simplest form.
