My math question is, write 0.67 in simplest form. My answer is 20/40 am I correct.
No
0.67 = 67/100
It cannot be reduced.
20/40 = 0.5 (or one-half)
To write 0.67 in simplest form, you need to find an equivalent fraction with a denominator that is a power of 10.
To do this, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 0.67 by 100:
0.67 x 100 / 1 x 100 = 67 / 100
The fraction 67/100 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 67:
67 / 67 ÷ 100 / 67 = 1 / (100 / 67)
The simplified fraction is 1 / (100 / 67).
Therefore, your answer of 20/40 is incorrect. The simplest form of 0.67 is 1 / (100 / 67).
To determine if your answer is correct, we need to simplify 0.67, which is the same as 67/100. To express a fraction in its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by that number.
In this case, the GCD of 67 and 100 is 1. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we obtain:
67 ÷ 1 = 67
100 ÷ 1 = 100
Therefore, 67/100 is indeed in its simplest form, and your answer of 20/40 is not equivalent to 0.67.
