Answer:


(3)/(4)

Explanation:

We have the fraction
(45)/(60).

What can both 45 and 60 be divided by? Lets look at the factors for each number.

Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

As you can see, 15 is the largest factor both numbers have in common. So, we divide the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by 15.

45 ÷ 15 = 3

60 ÷ 15 = 4

So, the simplified fraction is
(3)/(4).
