Is there a way to put 16/125 in lowest terms?

Question

Here is the word problem-

What is the probability that a random customer will NOT rent drama?

 

Drama| 25

Comedy| 36

Family| 52

Sci-Fi| 12

 

Answer 1

16 equals 2⁴

125 = 5³

These are the unique prime factorizations of your numerator & denominator.

Since there is no common factor, 16/125 cannot be reduced.
