How do i simplify each expression 100-15 over 9 8

Question

please show me how to simply this

100-15

______

9 8

Answer 1

(100 - 15) / 98  

=  85 / 98  

= (5 * 17) / (2 * 7 * 7 )

There's nothing there that cancels out.

So 85/98 is as simple as it goes.

Answer 2

Do one thing at a time...first, take 100-15.  That equals 85.  Then you have 85 divided by 98 (85/98).  Next, you "simplify" as low as you can go....What number (or numbers) can go into BOTH 85 AND 98 evenly ?  Nothing can...so 85/98 is as simplified as you can get.

Hope this helps...

Good Luck !

Answer 3

i dont know if it a + sign or if iit is 98 so...

first you would do everything on the top and bottom seperately

so  100-15= 85

and 9+8 = 17

so you put it back so

85

---

17

next you would divide 17 into 85 to see if this is factorable

and 17 goes into 85, 5 times so your answer is .... 5

or...

100-15=85

then 85/98
