Question

Write each rate as a fraction in lowest terms 30 feet in 15 seconds feet/sec Do not enter the units

Answer 1

For this you can write the given information as a fraction and then simplify, like this

`\begin{gathered} (15)/(30) \\ \text{Simplifying,} \\ (15)/(30)=(15\cdot1)/(15\cdot2)=(1)/(2)\rightarrow\text{ Because the HCF of 15 and 30 is 15} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is 1 foot in 2 seconds, or, 1/2 because you don't have to enter the units.
