Answer:
1. 1 1/3
2. 6/7
3. 1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one, the question is to reduce 16/12. So we need to see how many 12's there are in 16 --> 1. Because 16 - ( 12 · 1 ) = 4. We can't fit another 16 in four! Therefore the answer is 1 4/12 because the remainder that we solved above is 4. It can be simplified to 1 1/3.
5/7 + 1/7 is 6/7 because the denominator of the fractions are the same all you have to do is add the numerators together and leave the denominator 7:
5 1 6
----- + ------ = -------
7 7 7
To reduce 25/20 all you have to do is see how many 25's are in 20. Which is 1. 25 - ( 20 · 1 ) = 5. But there is still 5 left over so it would be: 1 5/20. Which can be simplified as 1 1/4
HOPE THIS HELPS :)
