- Answer: The fraction [tex]\frac{13}{50}[/tex] is already reduced to simplest form. The decimal equivalent of this fraction is 0.26
Step-by-step explanation:
Reducing a fraction to its simplest form is done by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, which must divide into both evenly
- Example: [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5. Your simplified fraction would be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{13}{50}[/tex] has the prime number "13". This means to simplify the fraction, the denominator would have to be divisible by 13. 50 ÷ 13 = about 3.84, meaning this fraction is in its most simplified form; since 13 does not divide into 50 evenly (does not result in a whole number)
