GCF(45,18Answer:
1.
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get 3/5×15/36=45/180
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 45 and 180 using
45/180÷45/45=1/4
Therefore:
3/5×15/36=14
2.
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
4/714/16=56/112
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 56 and 112 using
GCF(56,112) = 56
56/112 divided by 56/56
Therefore
4/7x14/16=1/2
3.
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
1/2×6/8=6/16
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 16 using
GCF(6,16) = 2
6/16÷2/2=3/8
Therefore:
1/2×6/8=3/8
4.
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
3/5×15/18=45/90
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 45 and 90 using
GCF(45,90) = 45
45/9045/÷45=1/2
Therefore:
3/5×15/18=1/2
5.
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
3/12×5/6=15/72
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 72 using
GCF(15,72) = 3
15/72÷3/3=5/24
Therefore:
3/12×5/6=5/24
