You find a common factor between numerator and denominator. Then, you divide numerator and denominator between this factor. Continue, until there are no more common factors. Here are some examples:
4/10 - common factor is 2: 4/10 = (4/2) / (10/2) = 2/5.
12/18 - common factor is 6: 12/18 = (12/6) / (18/6) = 2/3.
You don't need to figure out the greatest common factor: 60/80 = 6/8 = 3/4 (first I divided numerator and denominator by 10, then I continued searching for further factors; finding the factor 2).
(x3 + 3x2) / 5x - divide by the common factor x, with the result (x2 + 3x) / 5.

What is eqivalent ratio?
an eqivalent ratio is an ratio that is equal or you can simplfiy it
What are types of fraction?
There are three types of fractions that are used in mathematics. The three types of fractions are, mixed fractions, proper fractions, and improper fractions.
What are regular fractions?
Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
How are like fractions and unlike fractions different?
Like fractions have the same denominator, unlike fractions don't.
How do you minnous fractions?
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.
