52 over 16 = 105 over 28, what is the proportion in lowest terms.
Im so confused Thank you!
52/16 = 105/28
The concept is the same as reducing fractions.
Do you know how to reduce fractions?
Example:
6/12 = 1/2 in lowest terms
25/15 = 5/3 in lowest terms
This is what you need to do to your problem.
Great thanks
To find the proportion in lowest terms, you need to simplify both fractions. A fraction is in its lowest terms when the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) share no common factors other than 1.
Let's simplify the first fraction, 52/16:
1. Observe any common factors between the numerator and the denominator. In this case, both 52 and 16 can be divided by 4.
52 ÷ 4 = 13
16 ÷ 4 = 4
2. Now, the fraction becomes 13/4.
Next, let's simplify the second fraction, 105/28:
1. Observe any common factors between the numerator and the denominator. In this case, both 105 and 28 can be divided by 7.
105 ÷ 7 = 15
28 ÷ 7 = 4
2. Now, the fraction becomes 15/4.
Therefore, the proportion in its lowest terms is 13/4 = 15/4.
