#131/25#or 131:25

#524:100=cancel524^131/cancel100^25=131/25#

#131:25#

#524/100 -=(524-:2)/(100-:2) =262/50#

#(262-:2)/(50-:2) = 131/25#

You must write this is the same format as the question giving:-

#131:25#

Check: #" "524-: 100 = 5.24#
#" "131 -:25 = 5.24#

Thus #131:25# is correct

131 : 25

Determine the factors of each number

#524/100# = #(262 * 2) / (50 * 2)# = #(131 * 2 * 2)/(25 * 2 * 2)#

Remove all the 2's from Numerator and Denominator because they are common factors. This will leave you with

#131/25#

which can be written as

131 : 25
