6/12 = 1/2

7/35 >> Divide the numerator and the denominator by 7.

so it is 1 2/5

No.

Try again.

Hint: 7/7 = 1

thanks

You're welcome.

I didn't get it can you explain

Thanks

To solve the problem and express the answer in simplest form, we need to simplify each fraction and look for any common factors to cancel out.

Let's start with option A, which is 6/12.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator (6) and the denominator (12) by their greatest common factor, which is 6.

6 ÷ 6 = 1
12 ÷ 6 = 2

So, 6/12 simplifies to 1/2.

Therefore, the answer in simplest form for option A is 1/2.

Now let's move on to option B, which is 6/35.

Since there are no common factors between the numerator (6) and the denominator (35), this fraction is already in simplest form.

Therefore, the answer in simplest form for option B is also 6/35.

Next, option C is 7/35.

Again, there are common factors between the numerator (7) and the denominator (35). We can divide both by the greatest common factor, which is 7.

7 ÷ 7 = 1
35 ÷ 7 = 5

So, 7/35 simplifies to 1/5.

Therefore, the answer in simplest form for option C is 1/5.

Lastly, option D is 7/30.

Just like option C, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator (7) and the denominator (30) by their greatest common factor, which is 1 (since 7 and 30 have no common factors other than 1).

7 ÷ 1 = 7
30 ÷ 1 = 30

So, 7/30 does not simplify any further.

Therefore, the answer in simplest form for option D is 7/30.

In conclusion, the answers in simplest form are:

A. 1/2
B. 6/35
C. 1/5
D. 7/30
