1. Standard form of rational number of `12/20`Solution:`12/20`
The standard form of a fraction is the simplest form of a fraction, where the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 1.
Step-1: Find factors of numerator and denominatorFactors of 12 and 20 using division method |
| |
Or Factors of 12 and 20 using factor tree method |
| |
Step-2: Rewrite the numerator and denominator as the product of the primes`12/20=(2 xx 2 xx 3)/(2 xx 2 xx 5)`
Step-3: Remove the common factors `2,2``=(cancel{(2)} xx cancel{(2)} xx 3)/(cancel{(2)} xx cancel{(2)} xx 5)`
`=3/5`
Standard form of `12/20` is `3/5`
2. Standard form of rational number of `25/30`Solution:`25/30`
The standard form of a fraction is the simplest form of a fraction, where the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 1.
Step-1: Find factors of numerator and denominatorFactors of 25 and 30 using division method |
| |
Or Factors of 25 and 30 using factor tree method |
| |
Step-2: Rewrite the numerator and denominator as the product of the primes`25/30=(5 xx 5)/(2 xx 3 xx 5)`
Step-3: Remove the common factors `5``=(cancel{(5)} xx 5)/(2 xx 3 xx cancel{(5)})`
`=(5)/(2 xx 3)`
`=5/6`
Standard form of `25/30` is `5/6`
3. Standard form of rational number of `35/100`Solution:`35/100`
The standard form of a fraction is the simplest form of a fraction, where the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than 1.
Step-1: Find factors of numerator and denominatorFactors of 35 and 100 using division method |
| |
Or Factors of 35 and 100 using factor tree method |
| |
Step-2: Rewrite the numerator and denominator as the product of the primes`35/100=(5 xx 7)/(2 xx 2 xx 5 xx 5)`
Step-3: Remove the common factors `5``=(cancel{(5)} xx 7)/(2 xx 2 xx cancel{(5)} xx 5)`
`=(7)/(2 xx 2 xx 5)`
`=7/20`
Standard form of `35/100` is `7/20`
