Hey there!
When you see the word “of” in mathematical statement, it usually means “multiply” (aka Multiplication)
“3/5 of 5/9”
3/5 • 5/9
MULTIPLY the NUMERATORS (TOP NUMBERS) from each other & also MULTIPLY the DENOMINATORS (BOTTOM NUMBERS) from each other!
3(5) / 5(9)
3(5) = 15 ⬅️ NUMERATOR
5(9) = 45 ⬅️ DENOMINATOR
15/45
The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) for both of your numbers is: 15.. so DIVIDE both the NUMERATOR and DENOMINATOR from 15
15 ÷ 15 / 45 ÷ 15
15 ÷ 15 = 1 ⬅️ NUMERATOR
45 ÷ 15 = 3 ⬅️ DENOMINATOR
Answer: 1/3 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
