To simplify fractions, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor until they no longer have a common factor.
Let's figure out the factors of 24 and 40. The bold numbers are common factors.
24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
40: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
24/8 = 3
40/8 = 5
24/40 = 3/5
3 equal fractions would be 24 over 10, 48 over 20 and 96 over 40.
They are: 6/10, 12/20 and 24/40
No
no
16/14 24/21 32/28 40/35
You divide by two 24~2=12 40~2=20 Eventually it will be 3 5
8 over 5
All fractions that have the numerator and denominator of the fraction in its simplest form both multiplied by the same whole number are equivalent fractions for 35 over 40: 35/40 = 7 x 5/8 x 5 = 7/8 So all multiples of 7 over 8 are equivalent to 35 over 40: 7/8, 14/16, 21/24, 28/32, etc
14/16, 21/24, 28/32, 35/40
11 over 40 7/8 - 3/5... First, convert both fractions to their lowest common denominator: (in this case 8*5 = 40) 35/40 - 24/40 Then subtract leaving 11/40
No, it is already simplified.
