Question

Write the fraction in lowest terms. Use the method of dividing by a common factor.35/45A) 7/9B) 5/9C) 7/5D) 35/45

Answer 1

Answer: We have to write the fraction in the lowest terms, by dividing it by the common factor:

`(35)/(45)`

The common factor for both numerator and the denominator is 5, therefore, after dividing by it, the new fraction becomes:

`(35)/(45)=((35)/(5))/((45)/(5))=(7)/(9)`

The answer, therefore, is Option(A).
