Question

reduce -45 / 30 in standard form

Answer 1

divide 45 and 30 by 15 and then we get 3 and 2 respectively.
hence
-45/30 = -3/2..... is the answer

Answer 2

Given:

-45/30

To Find:

Reduce to standard form

Solution:

Reduction to standard form means that when a rational number's numerator and the denominator are divided by their HCF or brought to the lowest number after which they can be further divided.

So in the given question -45/30 needs to be reduced to its standard form which will go as,

First dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 and then by 3, which goes as,

[tex]=\frac{-45}{30} \\\\ =\frac{-45\div 5}{30\div 5}\\\\ =\frac{-9}{6} \\\\ =\frac{-9\div 3}{6\div 3}\\\\ =\frac{-3}{2} [/tex]

Hence, the standard form of -45/30 is -3/2.
