Question

150 over 250 show my work

Answer 1

We must compute the following quotient:

$\frac{150}{250}\text{.}$

We can write 150 and 250 in the following way:

$\begin{gathered} 150=50\cdot3, \\ 250=50\cdot5. \end{gathered}$

Replacing these values in the quotient, we have:

$\frac{150}{250}=\frac{50\cdot3}{50\cdot5}\text{.}$

Cancelling the 50 in the numerator and denominator we get:

$\frac{150}{250}=\frac{3}{5}$

Answer: 3/5
