Question #43e51

Answer 1

`1/3`

Explanation:

Since both the numbers are divisible by `3`,

`color(blue)(3xx1=3`

`color(blue)(3xx3=9`

Cancel them out

`rarrcancel3^1/cancel9^3`

`color(green)(rArr1/3`

Hope that helps!!! ☺•☻

Answer 2

`(3div 3)/(9div3) = 1/3`

Explanation:

You can simplify a fraction if you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.

This is the same as multiplying or dividing by `1`, which does not change the value of the fraction, but creates an equivalent fraction.

in `3/9`, both `3 and 9` have `3` as a factor. Divide both by `3`

`(3div 3)/(9div3) = 1/3`
