Cristina uses a ruler to measure the length of her textbook. She says that the book is [tex]$\frac{4}{10}$[/tex] long.

Is her measurement in simplest form? If not, what is the length of her textbook in simplest form?

Answer (3)

Cristina can simplest form it again by 2. So it's 2/5 long.

Actual length of textbook is 5 2 ​ long ;

Cristina's measurement of 10 4 ​ is not in simplest form. The correct measurement in simplest form is 5 2 ​ . This was found by identifying the greatest common factor of 4 and 10, which is 2, and simplifying the fraction accordingly.
