i get confused on how to simplify fractions could someone help me out please?
You must determine if there is a number which will divide both the numerator and the denominator evenly.
For example:
$$\frac{15}{225}$$
both 15 and 225 can be divided by 15.
15 divided by 15= 1
225 divided by 15= 15
So you can simplify the original fraction to:
$$\frac{1}{15}$$
