You don't simplify rational numbers, but sometimes you can simplify a fraction.
The way to do that is to divide the top and bottom by their greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 57 and 69 is 3 . When you divide the top and
bottom by 3 , you have 19/23 . That's the simplest form of that particular fraction.

Answer: (C) 8/30</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
There are 5+3 = 8 people in choir and running club. I added the values in the overlapped region of the circles "choir" and "running club".
This is out of 2+5+6+7+3+4+3 = 30 people total.
Divide the two results to form the fraction 8/30
Ideally we should reduce to get 4/15, but your teacher has chosen not to reduce.
The probability that the first 3 children will all draw a blue marble is 10 out of 40 .
