\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\text{What's }\huge(18)/(20)\huge\text{ simplified?}


\huge\text{Both terms have the GCF}
\huge\text{(Greatest Common Factor) of 2}


\huge\text{So, divide both numbers by 2.}


\huge(18/2)/(20/2)


\huge\text{18}\huge/\huge\text{2 = 9}


\huge\text{9 is the numerator (top \#)}


\huge\text{20}\huge/\huge\text{2 = 10}
\huge\text{10 is the denominator (bottom \#)}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Answer: }\huge(9)/(10)}}\huge\checkmark
