What is the simplest form of [tex] \frac{21}{18} [/tex]?
You must find the GCF
Look at the factors of 21:
1,3,7,21
Look at the factors of 18:
1,2,3,6,9,18
Look at the common factors
1,3
So 3 is the GCF
Now divide [tex] \frac{21}{18}[/tex]by[tex] \frac{3}{3} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{7}{6} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{7}{6} [/tex] can be changed to a mix fraction. Divide the numerator(the top-7) by the denominator(bottom-6)
7÷6=[tex]1 \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex] \frac{7}{6} [/tex] or [tex]1 \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
