\(\frac{16}{48}\)=\(\frac{8}{24}\)=\(\frac{1}{3}\)
To reduce to the lowest terms, you must find a common factor.
\(\frac{16}{48} has the 2 as a common factor, so you divide each side by 2\)=\(\frac{8}{24}\)=\(\frac{1}{3}\) because 8 is a factor for 8, once, and 24, 3 times.
The answer is \(\frac{1}{3}\) reduced to the lowest terms.
