My teacher forgot to tell me how to exactly solve any problem like this, she ran out of time probably.
�ã5/16
It says simplify the expression, could someone please show me how to do that?
�ã5/16 cannot be interpreted as a mathematical problem. What symbols are you trying to type before the 5/16?
square root
To simplify the expression 5/16, you need to find the simplest form or the lowest terms of the fraction. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Check if the numerator (the number above the fraction line) and the denominator (the number below the fraction line) have any common factors.
In this case, the numerator is 5 and the denominator is 16.
Step 2: Find the greatest common factor (GCF) or the largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator evenly.
The factors of 5 are 1 and 5. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The only factor that they have in common is 1, so it is the greatest common factor (GCF).
Step 3: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.
Dividing 5 by 1 gives you 5, and dividing 16 by 1 gives you 16.
So, the expression 5/16 is already in its simplest form or lowest terms since there are no common factors other than 1.
Therefore, the simplified form of 5/16 is itself, 5/16.
