Question #678d0

Answer 1

`4/6 = 2/3`

Explanation:

Fractions can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. This is the same as dividing by `1` which does not change the value of the fraction, just what it looks like.

In `4/6` we see both numbers are even. We can divide both by `2`

`4/6 (div2)/(div2) = 2/3`

You could also write `4/6` as the product of factors:

`4/6 = (cancel2xx2)/(cancel2xx3)" "larr` cancel the like factors

`=2/3`
