A) 47/17 B) 23/13 C) 47/19 D) 29/17

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2530}{1430}$

$\frac{2530}{1430}$   ÷   $\frac{2}{2}$    =  $\frac{1265}{715}$

$\frac{1265}{715}$   ÷  $\frac{5}{5}$     =  $\frac{253}{143}$

$\frac{253}{143}$    ÷  $\frac{11}{11}$    =   $\frac{23}{13}$

∴ $\frac{2530}{1430}$   reduced to the lowest form is $\frac{23}{13}$ .

 

∴ The correct answer is Option B) $\frac{23}{13}$

Answer 2

${\huge{\underline {\green {\sf{Answer:}}}}}$

Here, we have to reduce $\dfrac{2530}{1430}$

➮ Divide it by 2

• $\dfrac{2530÷2}{1430÷2}$= $\dfrac{1265}{715}$

➮Now, Divide it by 5

• $\dfrac{1265÷5}{715÷5}$ = $\dfrac{253}{143}$

➮ Divide it by 11

• $\dfrac{253÷11}{143÷11}$ = $\dfrac{23}{13}$

The lowest term is $\dfrac{23}{13}$ .

So option B) 23/13 is correct!
