PLEASE ANSWERING THIS QUESTION!!

However, you should assume the question always wants a reduced fraction as the answer. So, in the 2/4 example, you should enter 1/2. Some questions will consider 2/4 the same as 1/2, but you should get in the habit of always reducing your fractions to lowest terms.

Enter 9/45 in reduced form: (Blank)


Please show your work!

Explain your answer!

Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

because 9 divided by 9 is 1, and that means you must divide the denominator to, so 45 divided by 5, thus, you have 1/5

yes , reducing in simplest terms is very important regarding fractions which still have a chance to get reduced.

how do we reduce?
We commonly/usually reduce them with their suitable factors or in which table they go (multiplication factors)

So as 2/4 is reduced into 1/2 , here 2 and 4 are multiples of 2 and can be reduced into their simple forms as 1 and2
Because 2 x 1 = 2 and 2 x 2 = 4

So now considering the question. , 9/45

This can be reduced in two ways

With factors of three first!

=> 9/45

This goes in three table as 3 x 3 = 9 and 3 x 15 = 45
So we get it as 3/15
And we can again simplify this with 3

3 x 1 = 3 and 3 x 5 = 15

Which comes out to be 1/5

Now second method ;

Directly with 9 table

We know , 9 x 1 = 9 and 9 x 5 = 45

Can be reduced as 1/5 easily.
