write each fraction in simplest form
1) 24/32 = 3/4
2) 18/27 = 2/3
3) 33/39 = 11/13
4) 8/18 - 4/9
5) 16/28 = 4/7
6) 21/28 = 21/28
7) 18/30 = 3/5
8) 25/35 = 5/7
ARE THESE Correct?
They all are right except for 6.
#6 is 3/4 sorry thanks
4/8- 2/8
4/8-2/8 = 4-2/8 = 2/8
6/9
Yes, your answers are correct. Here's how you can find the simplest form for each of the fractions:
1) To simplify 24/32, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8. When you divide 24 by 8, you get 3, and when you divide 32 by 8, you get 4. So, 24/32 simplifies to 3/4.
2) Similarly, to simplify 18/27, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9. Dividing 18 by 9 yields 2, and dividing 27 by 9 gives 3. Therefore, 18/27 simplifies to 2/3.
3) For 33/39, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. Dividing 33 by 3 results in 11, and dividing 39 by 3 yields 13. Hence, 33/39 simplifies to 11/13.
4) To subtract fractions, like 8/18 - 4/9, you need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 18 and 9 is 18. So, you need to rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 18:
8/18 can be written as (8/18) x (1/1) = 8/18 x 1/1 = 8/18
Similarly, 4/9 can be written as (4/9) x (2/2) = 4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18
Now, you can subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same: 8/18 - 8/18 = 0. Therefore, the simplified form of 8/18 - 4/9 is 0.
5) To simplify 16/28, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Dividing 16 by 4 results in 4, and dividing 28 by 4 gives 7. Thus, 16/28 reduces to 4/7.
6) The fraction 21/28 is already in its simplest form since there is no common factor other than 1 that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator.
7) For 18/30, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6. Dividing 18 by 6 yields 3, and dividing 30 by 6 gives 5. Therefore, 18/30 simplifies to 3/5.
8) Similarly, to simplify 25/35, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5. Dividing 25 by 5 results in 5, and dividing 35 by 5 gives 7. Thus, 25/35 reduces to 5/7.
So, you have simplified all the given fractions correctly.
