divide this line into 1/8
divide this line into 1/16
how many 1/16 increments can you count? simplify your answer.
circle the final answer!
example:
8/16 = 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2
4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the fraction

To simplify \(\frac{4}{16}\), divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 4 and 16 is 4.
\(\frac{4\div4}{16\div4}=\frac{1}{4}\)

Step2: Convert to an equivalent fraction

To convert \(\frac{1}{4}\) to a fraction with denominator 8, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
\(\frac{1\times2}{4\times2}=\frac{2}{8}\)

Answer:

\(\underline{4}/16=\underline{2}/8=\underline{1}/4\)
