Question

write the simplest form of (-25)/45​

Answer 1

Following are the steps for getting the answer:

Given:

$\frac{-25}{45}$

To find:

The simplest form of $\frac{-25}{45}$

solution:

we have to find the simplest form of $\frac{-25}{45}$

any given number is said to be in its simplest form if it has 1 as the only common feature of its number. and the denominator is divided by only 1.

so for simplifying the fraction

we have to determine that

is that any number that is divisible by numerator and denominator

For simplifying

$\frac{-25}{45}$

we can divide both numerator and denominator by 5

$=\frac{-25\div5}{45\div5} \\\\=\frac{-5}{9}$

Now, the numerator and denominator are only divided by 1.

Thus,  the simplest form  $\frac{-25}{45}$ is $\frac{-5}{9}$

Answer 2

Given,

$\frac{(-25)}{45}$

We have to write the simplest form of $\frac{(-25)}{45}$

• A fraction is said to be in simplest form if its numerator and denominator are relatively prime, that is they have no common factors other than $1$.

Now, we have to divide the both numbers by $5$

$\frac{(-25)}{45}$

$= \frac{\frac{-25}{5} }{\frac{45}{5} }$

$=\frac{-5}{9}$

Therefore, the simplest form of $\frac{-25}{45}$ is $\frac{-5}{9}$.
