If you reduce 5
_
10 what fraction is it reduced to?
1
-
2 because 5x2=10 and 5x1=5
It is written better as 5/10 = 1/2.
To find the fraction that 5 gets reduced to when divided by 10, you need to divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (10).
The fraction can be written as 5/10.
However, to fully simplify the fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) between the numerator and denominator, and then divide both by that value to reduce it to its simplest form.
In this case, the GCD of 5 and 10 is 5, so you divide both the numerator and denominator by 5.
5 ÷ 5 = 1
10 ÷ 5 = 2
Therefore, the fraction 5/10, when fully simplified, reduces to 1/2.
