Write each rate as a fraction in lowest terms 45 feet in 20 seconds

Answer 1

To put this rate in simplest terms, you want to reduce all common factors.

Begin by listing the factors of each number.

45 3 x 3 x 5

20 = 2 x 2 x 5

As you can see, you can cross out number that are in both sets.

45 = 3 x 3

30 = 2 x 2

= 9/4 feet/seconds
