Sure, let's simplify each fraction step-by-step.
1. Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{2}{24}\)[/tex]:
- Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: [tex]\( \text{GCD}(2, 24) = 2 \)[/tex].
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
[tex]\[
\frac{2}{24} = \frac{2 \div 2}{24 \div 2} = \frac{1}{12}
\][/tex]
- The decimal form of [tex]\(\frac{1}{12}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.08333333333333333 \)[/tex].
2. Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{4}{48}\)[/tex]:
- Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: [tex]\( \text{GCD}(4, 48) = 4 \)[/tex].
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
[tex]\[
\frac{4}{48} = \frac{4 \div 4}{48 \div 4} = \frac{1}{12}
\][/tex]
- The decimal form of [tex]\(\frac{1}{12}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.08333333333333333 \)[/tex].
3. Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{5}{55}\)[/tex]:
- Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: [tex]\( \text{GCD}(5, 55) = 5 \)[/tex].
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
[tex]\[
\frac{5}{55} = \frac{5 \div 5}{55 \div 5} = \frac{1}{11}
\][/tex]
- The decimal form of [tex]\(\frac{1}{11}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.09090909090909091 \)[/tex].
4. Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{11}{25}\)[/tex]:
- Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: [tex]\( \text{GCD}(11, 25) = 1 \)[/tex] (since 11 and 25 are co-prime).
- Therefore, the fraction remains the same:
[tex]\[
\frac{11}{25}
\][/tex]
- The decimal form of [tex]\(\frac{11}{25}\)[/tex] is [tex]\( 0.44 \)[/tex].
5. Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{6}{36}\)[/tex]:
- Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: [tex]\( \text{GCD}(6, 36) = 6 \)[/tex].
- Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
[tex]\[
\frac{6}{36} = \frac{6 \div 6}{36 \div 6} = \frac{1}{6}
\][/tex]
- The decimal form of [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.16666666666666666 \)[/tex].
Summary of the simplified fractions in their decimal forms:
[tex]\[
\frac{2}{24} = 0.08333333333333333, \quad \frac{4}{48} = 0.08333333333333333, \quad \frac{5}{55} = 0.09090909090909091, \quad \frac{11}{25} = 0.44, \quad \frac{6}{36} = 0.16666666666666666
