Simplified form of 150/60.... ​

Answer 1

5/2

Explanation:

150/60

Use the 1st digit 1 from dividend 150

60) 150

Since 1 is less than 60, use the next digit 5 from dividend 150 and add 0 to the quotient

0

60) 150

Use the 2nd digit 5 from dividend 150

00

60)150

Use the 3rd digit 0 from dividend 150

00

60)150

Find the closest multiple of 60 to 150. We see that 2×60=120 is the nearest. Now subtract 120 from 150 to get reminder 30. Add 2 to the quotient.

002

60)150

120

________

30

Since 30 is less than 60, stop the division. The remainder is 30. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

Quotient: 2

Reminder: 30

2 and 30 as a factor =
`(5)/(2)`

Hope it helps and have a great night! =D

Answer 2

`\longmapsto\sf(150)/(60) \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf (15\cancel0)/(6\cancel0) \\ \\\longrightarrow \sf (15)/(6) \\ \\\longrightarrow \sf \cancel(15)/(6) \\ \\\longrightarrow{ \pmb{ \boxed{ (5)/(2)}}}`
