To find the fraction of cars on the lot that are both gray and electrically powered, we need to compare the number of gray electric cars to the total number of cars. We are given that there are 25 gray cars and 13 gray electric cars.
So the fraction of cars on the lot that are both gray and electrically powered is $\frac{13}{25}$.
Of the cars in a used-car lot, 25 are the color gray. 13 of the gray cars are electrically powered vehicles. What fraction of the cars on the lot are both gray and electrically powered? Leave your answer in simplified fraction form. Show yoru work.

13/25?
Apologies for the error. You are correct. The fraction of cars on the lot that are both gray and electrically powered is indeed $\frac{13}{25}$.
is that the most simplified form?
No, $\frac{13}{25}$ is not in its most simplified form. To simplify this fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 1 in this case. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we get $\frac{13}{25}$. Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1, this is already in its most simplified form.
