Can 50/99 be simplified
Answered by Veronica
Yes it could be simplified to 5/9.
Answered by Brady
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! :)
Answered by Ms. Sue
5/9 = 50/90

Brady is right. Veronica is wrong.

Answered by Veronica
I thought that you had to cross off the two zero's from each side.That is what my teacher has told me.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The denominator doesn't have any zeroes.

Answered by Brady
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.
