Question

what's the standard form of 44/-72 explanation pls​

Answer 1

$\quad \dfrac{44}{ - 72}$

$= - \dfrac{44}{72}$

$= - \dfrac{2 \times 2 \times 11}{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3}$

$= - \dfrac{ \cancel2 \times \cancel2 \times 11}{ \cancel2 \times \cancel2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3}$

$= - \dfrac{11}{18}$

Hence, $- \dfrac{11}{18}$ is the standard form.
