Answer 1

Answers:

1. 8/15 - cannot simplify

2. 9/16- cannot simplify

3. 12/15- 4/5 ( divide by 3 for the numerator and denominator) 12/3= 4 , 15/3= 5

4. 20/5= 4 ( divide by 5) 20/5= 4 , 5/5= 1

4/1= 4

5. 16/15 ( can't simplify)

6. 9/20 ( can't simplify)

7. 15/18= 5/6 ( divide by 3) 15/3= 5 , 18/3= 6

8. 42/10= 21/5 ( divide by 2) 42/2= 21 , 10/5= 2

9. 2/20 = 1/10 ( divide by 2) 2/2= 1, 20/2= 10

10. 9/48= 3/16 - divide by 3

11. 4/30= 2/15 - divide by 2

12. 6/28= 3/14- divide by 2

13. 30/20= 3/2- divide by 10

14. 150/42= 50/14- divide by 3 . 50/14= 25/7- divide by 2

15. 147/116 cannot simplify

16. 85/5=17 - divide by 5
