math question. Simplifying fractions?
it's been a long time since I've graduated so I really forgot. what is the answer to :
20/110 (assuming that 20 is on top of 110 and this is supposed to be fraction. note: I'm guessing you need to simplify to the lowest number?) and this is not division okay.

To do this u take 20/110 . Then to splify u take out an equal amount of 0's. so the fraction is now 2/11. That is ur simplaified fraction

okay we will do it the easiest but probably the longest way
we know that 20 is even and that 110 is even so we can take (or divide) a 2 from both numbers so
10/55 we know this because 10*2=20 and 55*2=110
so we reduced it.
now we have to think about what can go into 10 evenly and also 55 evenly
10=1*10
10=2*5
55=1*55
55=5*11
do you notice that there is a 5 that can go into both evenly
so we will take out the 5
2/11 we know this is right since 2*5=10 and 11*5=55 which gives us the fraction before it.
there are no numbers that can go into both the 2 and 11 evenly so that is the simpliest form of the fraction you gave.
hope this helps

2/11, i believe. but i could be wrong its been a while since i graduated too =\ lol
Take the highest common number that can go into both of those numbers, and divide.
Here i think its 10, hence 10 into 20 = 2, 10 into 110 = 11.

Divid top and bottom by the SAME number , in this case number is 10
20 / 110 = 2 / 11
