Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following fraction:

   $\dfrac{3}{18}$

We want to rewrite this fraction in its simplest form.

To do this, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.

We divide numerator and denominator by 3

  $\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{3} }{\dfrac{18}{3} }$

We have then:

      $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, simplest form of  $\dfrac{3}{18}$ is:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

For this case we have the following fraction:

$\frac {3} {18}$

We want to rewrite this fraction in its simplest form.

To do this, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.

We have then:

$\frac {\frac {3} {3}} {\frac {18} {3}}$

Rewriting we have:

$\frac {1} {6}$

Answer:

The fraction in its simplest form is given by:

$\frac {1} {6}$
