Question

What is `4 xx 1/10` reduced to its lowest form?

Answer 1

We can write this as;

`4 xx 1/10 => 4/1 xx 1/10 => (4 xx 1)/(1 xx 10) => 4/10`

We can now reduce this fraction:

`4/10 = (2 xx 2)/(2 xx 5) => (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2))) xx 2)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2))) xx 5) => 2/5`
