The fraction \( \frac{3}{27} \) can be simplified. To simplify, you divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 3 and 27 is 3.
So, dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3:
\[ \frac{3 \div 3}{27 \div 3} = \frac{1}{9} \]
Therefore, \( \frac{3}{27} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1}{9} \).
