Here are some rules that can help you simplify such expressions, in some cases.
(ab)c=abc
abac = ab+c
ab/ac = ab-c
No.
Divide the numerator and denominator of the ratio by their highest common factor.
Here is a sentence with the word 'simplify':The paragraph was simplified so that it is shorter and easier to understand.
Find the GCF of 6 and 20. Divide them both by it. 6/20 = 3/10
yes - it can be simplifieddivide both sides by 5so the simplify is >5/35 = 1/7
10x - 3y + 2x - 4y =(10x + 2x) + (-3y - 4y) =12x - 7y
By leaving it alone because it's already simplified but if you mean 8/44 then by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 it's simplified to 2/11
6/1 and if you simlify it itis 6 becase 1 goes into six six times
i think it is if you simlify it the answer would be x+(-2)>8 your welcome aislinn
-60/22. Since both numbers are even they will cancel down by '2' Hence -30/11 As '11' is a prime number it will not cancel down any further. So divide by '11'. Hence -2 remainder '8' The remainder '8' is placed over the '11' to make the fraction '8/11' Hence the answer is '-2 8/11', as a simplified mixed fraction. NB Notice the negative remains.
Well for one, it means you make both the denominator and the numerator as small a number as possible, but equals the same as the original fraction. To simplify you have to have a fraction that has a denominator and numerator that can both be divided by the same number. (For example) 4/30 can be divided by 2. 4 divided by 2 is 2, and 30 divided by 2 is 15 so the new fraction would be 2/15. (Another example) 14/28 can be divided by 2 also but both numbers can also be divided by 14. 14 divided by 14 is 1, and 28 divided by 14 is 2. So the final answer is 1/2.
If you mean 22/4 . This is an improper (top heavy) fraction. Both the numerator (top) and denominator(bottom) are even numbers, so they will divide by '2' Cancel down by '2' Hence 11/2 . Since '11' is a prime number, we cannot cancel down any further, so convert to a mixed fraction/number, by dividing by '2' Hence 11/2 = 5 remainder '1'. The remainder '1' is placed over '2' to make the fraction '1/2'. Hence 22/4 becomes in a simplified manner as '5 1/2'.
