Question
Can 50/99 be simplified
Answers
Veronica
Yes it could be simplified to 5/9.
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! :)

5/9 = 50/90
Brady is right. Veronica is wrong.
Brady is right. Veronica is wrong.

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

Ms. Sue is also right, I forgot to add something like her sentence in the post that I posted before.
