How do you reduce 20 over 12 to its lowest term?
20/12 = 5/3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF which is 4
Can you reduce an irrational number?
An irrational fraction can be reduced. For example, sqrt(20)/6 = sqrt(5)/3
How can you turn 3.05 into a mixed number?
Yes. 3.05 would become 3 5/100 which can reduce to 3 1/20 Hope this helps(:
Can you reduce 6 over 40?
Any time both numbers are even, it can be reduced. 6/40 = 3/20
Can you reduce 7 over 20?
No; 7 / 20 is irreducible.
Can you reduce 15 over 20?
It is 3 over 4.
When you reduce a mixed number what do you do with the whole number?
When you reduce a mixed number, the whole number does not change. It is the fraction that changes. For insance, if you want to reduce 5 and 3/6, you would simply keep the 5 and reduce the 3/6 to 1/2. The final outcome would be 5 and 1/2. 20 and 15/20 would reduce to 20 and 3/4. 17 and 10/12 would reduce to 17 and 5/6. And so on...
What is 6 and the square root of 20 over 3 and the square root of 5 equivalent to?
6√20 First we reduce the 6 and 3 so we get 2√20 Then we reduce the 20 and 53√5 `````````````````````````````````√5so we get 2√4 We know that √4 is 2 so by substituting, we get 2x2 which is 4.
What is 15 divided by 20 and need to reduce to lowest terms?
0.75
How do you write 3.55 as a mixed number in simplest form?
3 55/100 then reduce to 3 11/20
How do you reduce 20 over 12 to its lowest term?
20/12 = 5/3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF which is 4
What does 27 over 20 reduce down to?
It doesn't. 27 breaks down into 3's, and 20 breaks down to 2's and a 5.
What fractions' simplest term is two fifths?
There are an infinite number of fractions that could reduce to 2/5. As long as you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by the same number (as long as this number is not 1), you will get another fraction that will then reduce to 2/5. -5: 2*-5 = -10 5*-5 = -25 -10/-25 = 2/5 4/3: 2*(4/3) = 8/3 5*(4/3) = 20/3 (8/3)/(20/3) = (8/3)*(3/20) = 8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5 Any number, as long as both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by it, will yield a fraction that will then reduce to 2/5.
How do you reduce 60 over 100?
find a common factor to divide both by in this case 20 and the answer is 3/5.
Can you reduce an irrational number?
An irrational fraction can be reduced. For example, sqrt(20)/6 = sqrt(5)/3
How can you turn 3.05 into a mixed number?
Yes. 3.05 would become 3 5/100 which can reduce to 3 1/20 Hope this helps(:
What is the reduced fraction 24 over 40?
24/40 When reducing a fraction, we look to see if either number has a common factor. Since 24' and '40' are even numbers ( end 4 & 0) the will reduce by '2' Hence 24/40 = 12 /20 Similarly for '12' & '20' it will reduce by '2' 12/20 = 6/10 Similarly for '6' & '10' . it will reduce by '2' 6/10 = 3/5 This will not reduce any further since '3' & '5' are prime numbers Hence 24/40 = 3/5 However, if you know your multiplication tables, you should see that both '24' & '40' are multiples of '8' and will directly reduce by dividing through by '8'.
