Algebra.Com's Answer #80153 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! you factored the numbers but you didn't simplify the fractions. \n" ); document.write( "you see that 3,2,2 are factors of both of them. \n" ); document.write( "3*2*2=12 \n" ); document.write( "divide 12 into each number. 3/4 is the answer. \n" ); document.write( "It really helps if you see that 12 goes into both of them immediately; then you don't have to do the factoring. \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
