Question

Can you please help me with 2-8The question is write the simplest form of the fraction 6/8

Answer 1

From the problem, we have a fraction of 6/8

To rewrite this in simpliest form, we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by a common factor.

For 6, we have :

6 = 2 x 3

For 8, we have :

8 = 2 x 2 x 2

As you can see, the common factor between 6 and 8 is 2.

So we need to divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

This will be :

`(6)/(8)\Rightarrow(6/2)/(8/2)=(3)/(4)`

The answer is 3/4
