Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Simplifying Proper Fractions to Lowest Terms (Easier Questions) (A)
Let’s simplify each fraction step by step. To simplify a fraction, we divide both the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) by their greatest common factor (GCF). We keep doing this until no number other than 1 can divide both.

We’ll go row by row:

---

Row 1:

1. 7/14 → GCF of 7 and 14 is 7 → 7÷7=1, 14÷7=2 → 1/2
2. 24/33 → GCF of 24 and 33 is 3 → 24÷3=8, 33÷3=11 → 8/11
3. 9/27 → GCF is 9 → 9÷9=1, 27÷9=3 → 1/3
4. 8/56 → GCF is 8 → 8÷8=1, 56÷8=7 → 1/7

---

Row 2:

5. 4/20 → GCF is 4 → 4÷4=1, 20÷4=5 → 1/5
6. 24/40 → GCF is 8 → 24÷8=3, 40÷8=5 → 3/5
7. 7/56 → GCF is 7 → 7÷7=1, 56÷7=8 → 1/8
8. 27/99 → GCF is 9 → 27÷9=3, 99÷9=11 → 3/11

---

Row 3:

9. 14/21 → GCF is 7 → 14÷7=2, 21÷7=3 → 2/3

11. 45/54 → GCF is 9 → 45÷9=5, 54÷9=6 → 5/6
12. 4/12 → GCF is 4 → 4÷4=1, 12÷4=3 → 1/3
