Question

3/8 and 375/1000 in simplest determine if the following pairs are equal by writing each in their simplest form 3 by 8 375 by 1000​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given pair is equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given pair is $\frac{3}{8}\:\:and\:\:\frac{375}{1000}$

To find: If the given pair is equal or not by writing them in simplest form.

Consider first fraction,

3/8

We find HCF of 3 and 8.

3 = 1 × 3

8 = 1 × 8

HCF = 1

So, the simplest form = $\frac{3\div1}{8\div1}=\frac{3}{8}$

Now, 375/100

We find HCF of 375 and 1000

375 = 3 × 5 × 5 × 5

1000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5

HCF = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

So, the simplest form = $\frac{375\div125}{1000\div125}=\frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, Given pair is equal.
