Question

3/4, 4/5, 7/8, 9/11, 5/6
can they be simplified? give your reasons below.​

Answer 1

No, none of these can be simplified

Explanation:

Each one of these factions have a prime number in it, so therefore, you cannot simplify any of them. Prime numbers are numbers that only have 2 factors, one and itself. So, you can't simplify any of them.

Here's why:

If you take 3/4, you can't simplify because 3 is prime. 4 is NOT prime, but to reduce, you have to be able to find a GCF, or a greatest common factor.

Answer 2

They cannot be simplified
