Can 50/99 be simplified
Yes it could be simplified to 5/9.
No, it can't be simplified. In order to simplify it, you need to see if they have any factors in common.
Factors for 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25
Factors for 99: 1, 3, 33
So, it can't be simplified. I hope this helps! :)
5/9 = 50/90
Brady is right. Veronica is wrong.
I thought that you had to cross off the two zero's from each side.That is what my teacher has told me.
The denominator doesn't have any zeroes.
You can, but in this case you can't because only one number in the fraction has a zero. This is 50. The other number, which doesn't have a zero is 99. Therefore, you can't simplify the fraction that way, and you can't simplify it.
Ohh okay
Ms. Sue is also right, I forgot to add something like her sentence in the post that I posted before.
ur dumb
Yes, 50/99 can be simplified. To simplify a fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.
To find the GCD of 50 and 99, we can use the Euclidean algorithm. Starting with the two numbers, we divide the larger number by the smaller number and take the remainder. Then we replace the larger number with the smaller number and the smaller number with the remainder. We repeat this process until the remainder is zero. The last non-zero remainder is the GCD.
Let's do the calculations:
99 ÷ 50 = 1 remainder 49
50 ÷ 49 = 1 remainder 1
49 ÷ 1 = 49 remainder 0
So, the GCD of 50 and 99 is 1. Now we divide both the numerator and the denominator of 50/99 by the GCD:
50 ÷ 1 = 50
99 ÷ 1 = 99
Therefore, the simplified form of 50/99 is 50/99.
