The answer that I got was 13x10=130
and 15x7=105 Also how do I get it to the simplest form
well, if it ends in 0 or 5, divide by 5
26 / 21
that is 13*2/7*3 so there is nothing more to be cancelled.
Divide numerator and denominator by 5.
130/105 = 26/21
To simplify the fraction (13/15) / (7/10), you need to divide the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and divide the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
So, (13/15) / (7/10) becomes:
(13/15) * (10/7)
To find the product of the numerators, multiply 13 by 10:
13 * 10 = 130
To find the product of the denominators, multiply 15 by 7:
15 * 7 = 105
Therefore, (13/15) * (10/7) becomes 130/105.
To simplify the fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.
The GCD of 130 and 105 is 5.
Dividing 130 by 5, you get 26.
Dividing 105 by 5, you get 21.
So, the simplified fraction is 26/21.
