Could anybody explain simplifying fractions to me with an example?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. When you simple you try and find the GFC(greatest common factor) for example say if I have a problem that’s 1/4 + 1/4 it would equal to 2/4 i would have to find the gfc that 4 and 2nhave in common. Even when you add subtract multiply or divde fraction most likely you have to simply so once we find the gfc of 2 and 4 we divide it but 2/4 and look this is the rule when simpling what ever you divide the top by you dived the bottom with.

Example:

=

What is the gcf of 2 and 4?? Now only time you can’t simply is when two number have no common multiple other than one.

2             4

1*2.        1*4

            2 * 2

we found a common multiple it’s 2

÷ =

2 ÷ 2 = 1

4 ÷ 2 = 2

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
