Question

ANSWER

x is a common factor of 36 and 20

y is a common multiple of 9 and 6

Find the smallest value of
`(x)/(y)`

Answer 1

`(1)/(18)` ?

Explanation:

first i found the smallest common multiple of 9 and 6 which is 18

M(9) -> 9, 18, 21

M(6) -> 6, 12, 18

then i found the smallest common factor of 36 and 20 which is 1

not 100% sure but i hope its right

Answer 2

1/ inf = ~ very small

Explanation:

To make x/y as small as possible make 'x' as small as possible = 1

and y as large as possible = inf
