Question

When it comes to reducing that’s where I start having trouble for example 10/13x1/15= 10/65 but 10/65 not in lowest terms so I have reduce the fraction so that is can equal 2/13

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's use your example as a starting point. Determine whether the same number will divide each 10 and 65 evenly. In this case, the answer is yes, and the number is 5. 10/5 = 2, and 65/5 = 13. Thus, the fraction in lowest terms is 2/13.
