Question

write the rate as a fraction in lowest terms.
10 people for 15 dresses

Explanation:

Step1: Form the fraction

The rate is 10 people for 15 dresses, so the fraction is $\frac{10}{15}$.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 10 and 15. The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10 and the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15. The GCD is 5. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5: $\frac{10\div5}{15\div5}=\frac{2}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$
