Question
Rewrite the following rational numbers in the simplest form.
$\frac{25}{45}$

Answer

Given, $\frac{25}{45}$
$
\because
25=5 \times 5 \text { and } 45=5 \times 3 \times 3
$
$\therefore$ HCF of 25 and $45=5$
On dividing the numerator and denominator by 5,
we get
$\frac{25}{45}=\frac{25÷5}{45÷5}=\frac{5}{9}$
Hence, the simplest form of $\frac{25}{45}$ is $\frac{5}{9}$
