Q. Simplify the fraction completely. If the fraction does not simplify, submit the fraction in its current form.18x220xAnswer:
Factor out common terms: Factor out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator.The fraction (20x)/(18x2) has a common factor of x in both the numerator and the denominator. We can simplify the fraction by canceling out this common factor.Simplification: (20x)/(18x2)=(20)/(18x)
Simplify numerical part: Simplify the numerical part of the fraction.The numbers 20 and 18 have a common factor of 2. We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to simplify the fraction further.Simplification: 18x20=9x10
Check for further simplification: Check for any further simplification.The fraction (10)/(9x) cannot be simplified further because there are no more common factors between the numerator and the denominator.
