Answer 1

Complete question:

Kono divides The numerator and the denominator of 48 over 72 by the greatest common factor to simplify the fraction in one step by what number does he divide

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number : 48 / 72

Obtain the greatest common factor of 48 and 72

- - - - 48 - - - - 72

- 2-- 24 - - - - 36

- 2 - 12 - - - - - 18

- 2 - 6 - - - - - - 9

- 3 - 2 - - - - - - 3

The greatest common factor of 48 and 72 is hence (2 * 2 * 2 * 3) = 24

Hence, divide both the numerator and denominator by 24 ;

Numerator = 48/24 = 2

Denominator = 72 / 24 = 3

= 2/3
