Question

Simplify 54/60. Is it 9/10 or 6/10

Answer 1

9/10 is the answer 60 / 54 =
= (22 * 3 * 5) / (2 * 33) =
= ((22 * 3 * 5) : (2 * 3)) / ((2 * 33) : (2 * 3)) =
= (60 : 6) / (54 : 6) = 10 / 9
Improper fraction, rewritten:
10 : 9 = 1 and remainder = 1 =>
10 / 9 = (1 * 9 + 1) / 9 = 1 + 1 / 9 = 1 1/9
