Question

What is the lowest simplified term for 15 over 40

Answer 1

The correct answer would be 3 over 8☺️

Answer 2

To reduce to lowest simplified term, also knows as Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) we just have to find the smallest number that can divide into both numbers. That number is 5. The LCD of
`(15)/(40)` is
`(3)/(8)`. 5 goes into 15 3 times, and into 40 8 times. So the answer is 3 over 8. Hope that helps!
