1. 9/12 divide top and bottom by 3

3/4

now you can multiply the top and bottom by the same number and get an equivalent fraction

3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8

3/4 * 5/5 = 15/20

these are all equivalent fractions to 9/12 = 3/4 = 6/8 = 15/20

2. 16/24

divide the top and bottom by 8

2/3

This is as small as it goes (keep dividing until there is no number that will go into the top and the bottom evenly).

Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The amount each took home was 20 unit currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 apples, went to market and sold all their apples at the same price, and each received the same sum of money.

Formula : $a \times n + (n - 1)$ , $(a + b)\cdot n + (n - 2)$ , $(a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3)$ , $(a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4)$ , $(a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5)$ , $(a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6)$ , $(a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7)$

$a \cdot n + (n - 1) = 20$

$(a + b) \cdot n + (n - 2)=40$

$(a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3) = 60$

$(a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4) = 80$

$(a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5) = 100$

$(a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6) = 120$

$(a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7) = 140$

On solving :

n = 7, a = 2, b = 3

So,

$2 \times 7 + 6 = 20$

$5 \times 7 + 5=40$

$8 \times 7 + 4 = 60$

$11 \times 7 + 3 = 80$

$14 \times 7 + 2 = 100$

$17 \times 7 + 1 = 120$

Based on market pricing if groups of apples are sold at 1 unit currency for 7, and extras are sold for 3 unit currency per extra 1, we have the amount :

2×1 + 6×3 = 20

5×1 + 5×3=20

8×1 + 4×3 = 20

11×1 + 3×3 = 20

14×1 + 2×3 = 20

17×1 + 1×3 = 20

20×1 = 20

Therefore, the amount each took home was 20 unit currency.
