Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you factored the numbers but you didn't simplify the fractions.
you see that 3,2,2 are factors of both of them.
3*2*2=12
divide 12 into each number. 3/4 is the answer.
It really helps if you see that 12 goes into both of them immediately; then you don't have to do the factoring.
