Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`\boxed{(1)/(3)}`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

• We would take the GCF of the two numbers in order to simplify.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Simplify:}}\\\\(2)/(6)\\\\\boxed{\text{Finding the Factors:}}\\\\2: 2\\6 : 2,3\\\\\boxed{\text{The GCF would be 2.}}\\\\(2)/(6) =(2/2)/(6/2)=\boxed{(1)/(3)}`

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

2 = 2 × 1

6 = 2 × 3

GCF = 2

`(2 /2 )/(6/2) =(1)/(3)`
