Answer: 4/10 = 2/5

2/8 = 1/4

3/5 = 3/5

4/12 = 1/3

6/10 = 3/5

3/6 = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4/10 = 2/5

4/10 is not in its simplest form.

Both 4 and 10 can be divided by 2.

Therefore, 4/10 = 2/5

2/8 = 1/4

2/8 is not in its simplest form

2 / 2 = 1

8 / 2 = 4

Both 2 and 8 can be divided by 2, therefore, 2/8 = 1/4

3/5 = 3/5

3/5 is in its simplest form

3 and 5 are prime, so they don’t have any factors other than 1 and itself so they wouldn’t be able to be simplified.

4/12 = 1/3

4/12 is not in its simplest form

4 / 4 = 1

12 / 4 = 3

4 and 12 can be divided by 4, resulting in 1 and 3. Therefore, 4/12 = 1/3.

6/10 = 3/5

6/10 is not in its simplest form

6 / 2 = 3

10 / 2 = 5

6 and 10 can both be divided by 2, resulting in 3/5. Therefore, 6/10 = 3/5

3/6 = 1/2

3/6 is not in its simplest form

3 / 3 = 1

6 / 3 = 2

Both 3 and 6 can be divided by 3, resulting in 1/2

Therefore, 3/6 = 1/2

Short Answers:

4/10 = 2/5

2/8 = 1/4

3/5 = 3/5

4/12 = 1/3

6/10 = 3/5

3/6 = 1/2
