Question

150 over 250 show my work

Answer 1

We must compute the following quotient:

`(150)/(250)\text{.}`

We can write 150 and 250 in the following way:

`\begin{gathered} 150=50\cdot3, \\ 250=50\cdot5. \end{gathered}`

Replacing these values in the quotient, we have:

`(150)/(250)=(50\cdot3)/(50\cdot5)\text{.}`

Cancelling the 50 in the numerator and denominator we get:

`(150)/(250)=(3)/(5)`

Answer: 3/5
