Question

A Dutch mathematician and engineer first wrote fractional numbers in the
form we now use. To find his name, match each rational number or mixed
number with its equivalent in the simplest form. Then write the
corresponding letter in the space provided.
(I) 6/100-T
(II) 14/56-S
(III) 10/16-I
(IV) 34/12-O
(V) 48/60-S
(VI) 32/20-M
(VII)16/24-V
(VIII) 145/435-N
(IX) 44/12-N
(X) 78/10-I
(XI) 84/100-E
Now,
2/3; (1)3/5; (7)4/5; (2)5/6; 3/50; 5/8; (3)2/3; 4/5; 21/25; 1/4; (3)1/3;;

(VIII) (IX) (X) (IX)

Answer 1

Answer:

(VIII) 145/435-N

(IX) 44/12-N

(X) 78/10-I

(XI) 84/100-E

Now,

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is Simon Stevin

Step-by-step explanation:

Because

¡) 6/100 = 3/50 that is S

¡¡) 14/56 = 1/4 that is I

¡¡¡) 10/16 = 5/8 that is M

¡v) 34/12 = 17/6 = 2 5/6 that is O

v) 48/60 = 4/5 that is N

vi) 32/20 = 8/5 = 1 3/5 that is S

vii) 16/24 = 2/3 that is T

viii) 3 145/435 = 3 1/3 that is E

ix) 44/12 = 3 2/3 that is V

x) 78/10 = 7 4/5 that is I

xi) 84/100 = 21/25 that is N

So the answer will be SIMON STEVIN
