Verified answer

= 45/130

= 9/26

Multiply 5*9 in the numerator, 13*10 in the denominator

Notice you can take a 5 out of both the numberator and denominator: cross out the 5 in the numerator, and change the 10 to a 2 in the denominator (since 10 ÷ 5 = 2)

So now you have 9 ÷ (13*2) = 9/26

ANSWER: 9/26

9/26

There are 2 ways to do this. One is to multiply numerator by numerator, and denominator by denominator, then reduce.

45/130 now divide numerator and denominator by 5 and get 9/26

OR

divide the 5 and the 10 by their common factor, 5, and then you'd have 1x9 over 13x2 or 9/26

remember you cannot do this ifthe 5 and the 10 are bothin the num. or denom.

(5/13)( 9/10)

45/130=9/26

45/130 (multiplied)

9/26 (reduced)

(5/13)*(9/10)

Cancel out of 5 and 10:

(1/13)*(9/2)=9/26

45/130=Divide both the numerator and denonimator by5=9/26
