I need to write and explain how I know that 55/80 is not in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 5.

Answer 2

Anything bigger than 1 that ends in a 0 is divisible by five and ten because ten is two times five

anything bigger than 5 that ends in a five is divisible by five

so I know that both top and bottom are divisible by 5

(5 * 11) / (5 * 16)

or
11/16

Answer 3

i have the same question as gabe

Answer 4

Look at your numerator,if it is 55 than can 55 go into 80, if so how many times, 50 cant go into 80 and 80 cant go into 50 so theres your answer

Answer 5

Because the answer has more than one multiples that get 55 and 80
