Which is the lowest term of 6/24?
-
1/4
-
3/12
-
4/6
-

3/9 cannot be simplified.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The given statement is false because 3/9 can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 3, so we can divide both by 3 to simplify the fraction. After simplifying, we get 1/3, which is the simplest form of 3/9.Rate this question:

3/4 is the lowest term of 6/12.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The lowest term of a fraction is the simplest form it can be reduced to. To find the lowest term, you divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In the case of 6/12, the greatest common factor is 6. Dividing both by 6 gives you 1/2, which is the lowest term. 3/4 can be obtained by dividing both numerator and denominator of 6/12 by 2, but it is not the simplest form.Rate this question:

Which of the following will help reduce fractions into lowest terms?
-
Divide the numerator and denominator by their GCF
-
Divide the numerator and denominator by their LCM
-
Multiply the numerator by its denominator
-
Divide the numerator by its denominator
Correct Answer
A. Divide the numerator and denominator by their GCFExplanation
Dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF) will help reduce fractions into lowest terms. The GCF is the largest number that divides both the numerator and denominator without leaving a remainder. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCF, we can simplify the fraction and express it in its lowest terms. This process ensures that the fraction cannot be further simplified and is in its simplest form.Rate this question:

-
3/6
-
2/6
-
4/6
Correct Answer

Which of the following is the lowest term for 5/55?
-
1/11
-
5/11
-
11/55
-
1/55
Correct Answer
A. 1/11Explanation
The lowest term for a fraction is when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In this case, the numerator 5 and the denominator 55 have a common factor of 5. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, we get the fraction 1/11, which is the lowest term for 5/55.Rate this question:

Which of the following is equivalent to 3/12?
-
1/4
-
3/4
-
1/6
-
2/5
Correct Answer
A. 1/4Explanation
The fraction 3/12 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. When we divide 3 by 3, we get 1, and when we divide 12 by 3, we get 4. Therefore, the equivalent fraction of 3/12 is 1/4.Rate this question:
