Dividing both terms of a fraction by the same number changes the vavle of the fraction?

A fraction is in lowest terms when its numerator and denominator have no factor in common other than 1 or -1. Thus , the fraction 11/13 is in lowest terms since 1 is a factor of both 11 and 13. Whereas, the fraction 12/15 is not in lowest terms since 3 is a factor of both 12 and 15. To write 12/15 in lowest terms, factor the numerator and the denominator. Then cancel any factor that appears in both numerator and denominator since the quotient of these identical factors is 1:
12/15 = 4 x 3/5x 3 = 4/5 x 3/3 = 4/5 x 1 = 4/5
So we can say that dividing both terms of a fraction by the same number the value of the fraction doesn't change.
Check it:
12/15 = 0.8 and 4/5 = 0.8
Also we can say that when we multiply both terms of a fraction by the same number, the value of the fraction doesn't change.
For example:
4/5 x 5/5 = 20/25
Check it:
4/5 = 0.8 and 20/25 = 0.8

Is 6.23 an irrational number?
No. An irratioinal number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction 6.23 = 623/1000 (you can check this on your calculator, if you'd like). The existence of this fraction means, by the definition given above, the 6.23 is not an irrational number. In more applied terms, any number with a decimal without repeating terms is ALWAYS rational. In decimals with repeating terms, as long as the terms follow some pattern, the number is rational. example: 0.3333333333... is rational because the numbers follow a pattern (and because this = 1/3). pi (or 3.141592.....) is not rational because the numbers do not follow a pattern.

WHAT IS THE PERCENT OF 87.5 INTO A FRACTION LOWEST TERMS?
To express the percentage 87.5% as a fraction in its lowest terms, you can follow these steps: Step 1: Convert the percentage to a fraction by dividing it by 100. 87.5% = 87.5/100 Step 2: Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms (also known as simplest form) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it. The greatest common divisor of 87.5 and 100 is 12.5 (87.5 = 12.5 * 7 and 100 = 12.5 * 8). Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 12.5: (87.5/100) ÷ 12.5 = (7/8) So, 87.5% as a fraction in its lowest terms is 7/8.

How do you turn 9.125 into a mixed number show work?
9.125 = 9 + 0.125 (separate out the decimal) = 9 + 125/1000 (convert the decimal to a fraction) = 9 + 1/8 (reduce the fraction to simplest terms by dividing top and bottom by their hcf) = 91/8 (make it a mixed number)
Does the numerator or denominator go in the box when dividing?
You flip the denominator on top of the fraction. So the fraction would be upside-down par say. The first number stays the same, the second you would flip. Simpler terms: the numerater goes inside the box
