Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

We have the following fraction:

`(3)/(18)`

We want to rewrite this fraction in its simplest form.

To do this, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.

We divide numerator and denominator by 3

`((3)/(3) )/((18)/(3) )`

We have then:

`(1)/(6)`

Hence, simplest form of
`(3)/(18)` is:

`(1)/(6)`

Answer 2

For this case we have the following fraction:

`\frac {3} {18}`

We want to rewrite this fraction in its simplest form.

To do this, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.

We have then:

`\frac {\frac {3} {3}} {\frac {18} {3}}`

Rewriting we have:

`\frac {1} {6}`

Answer:

The fraction in its simplest form is given by:

`\frac {1} {6}`
