Answer

Problem

Reduce the given fraction \$48/60\$ to its simplest form.

Hint

To find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator

Step

The factors of 48 are
The factors of 60 are

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.

Step

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 48 and 60 is

Step

Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD

\$60/48 ÷ 12/12\$ = \$4/5\$

Step

So, after simplifying, we get \$4/5\$.

Answer

Option

Sumup

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

This is not the correct option because we simplified the fraction to \$4/5\$, not \$3/5\$

\$3/5\$

Choice.B

This is not the correct option for the same reason as option A

\$2/5\$

Choice.C

This is the correct option because \$60/48\$ simplifies to \$4/5\$

\$4/5\$

Choice.D

This is not the correct option because it’s a completely different fraction and not the simplest form of \$48/60\$

\$5/6\$

Sumup

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?
