Getting the simplest form of a fraction is the same with getting its lowest term. Reducing fractions to its lowest term is a very simple thing to do. Here's how to simplify fractions:
There are two ways in simplifying fractions. The first method is to equally divide both numerator and denominator which results to only whole numbers. Getting the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) or GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the second method.
As to the fraction above, 39/250, the second method is applicable.
Let us get the GCF of 39 and 250
39= 1,3,13,39
250= 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250
Therefore, the GCF of 39 and 250 is 1. We can conclude then that 39/250 is already on its simplest form thus;
<u>39</u> ÷ <u>1</u> is equal to <u>39</u>
250 1 250
For number 3 add all the numbers and divide how numbers you have
Answer:
180 CDs
Step-by-step explanation:
So if Sam has 84 CDs, and the ratio from Sam to Alice is 7:8, we can do 84/7=12 so each number is equal to 12. Then we add up 7 and 8 and get 15, so we do 15*12 and we get 180.
