Use the Quotient Property to generate an equivalent expression to 9/35/9/15

. What is the simplified exponent?

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(\frac{9/35}{9/15}\) using the Quotient Property, we can rewrite the division of fractions as follows:

\[ \frac{9/35}{9/15} = \frac{9}{35} \div \frac{9}{15} \]

When dividing fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

\[ \frac{9}{35} \div \frac{9}{15} = \frac{9}{35} \times \frac{15}{9} \]

Now we can simplify:

  • The \(9\) in the numerator of \(\frac{9}{35}\) cancels with the \(9\) in the denominator of \(\frac{15}{9}\).

This gives us:

\[ \frac{15}{35} \]

Next, we can simplify \(\frac{15}{35}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of \(15\) and \(35\), which is \(5\):

\[ \frac{15 \div 5}{35 \div 5} = \frac{3}{7} \]

Thus, the simplified expression for \(\frac{9/35}{9/15}\) is:

\[ \frac{3}{7} \]
