Question

What is the fraction `4/9` simplified?

Answer 1

The fraction can't be simplified because there is no common factor, or GCF, between 4 and 9.

Answer 2

`4/9` or `(2/3)^2`

Explanation:

You could write `4/9` as `(2/3)^2`, but this isn't really any simpler than the form you have the fraction on already.

Answer 3

See below:

Explanation:

Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors, this is the simplest form we can get it in.

Alternatively, we can convert it to a decimal. When fractions have a denominator of `9`, its decimal version will be the numerator repeated.

`4/9` as a decimal would be equivalent to

`0.bar(4)`
