Communication becomes difficult in situations where people don't understand each others' language. The inability to communicate using a language is known as language barrier to communication

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reduce it to the lowest term by dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF (Highest Common Factor)

Highest Common Factor of 144 and 80 = 16

Hence,

$\frac{144}{80}=\frac{144/16}{80/16} =\frac{9}{5}$

We can check if it is in its lowest term by checking if they are co-prime or not.

Two numbers are said to be co-prime if their HCF is 1.

Here the HCF of 9 and 5 is 1. So, it is in the lowest terms.
