Answer:
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
Explanation:
A fraction is said to be in the simplest form if there is no common factor between the numerator and the denominator.
In the given fraction, \(\frac{40}{100}\) , we can note that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 10.
This will give us:
\(\frac{4}{10}\)
Now, we can note that both the numerator and the denominator in \(\frac{4}{10}\) can be divided by 2
This will give us:
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
The aren't any common factors between the 2 and the 5, therefore, \(\frac{2}{5}\) is the simplest form of the given fraction.
Hope this helps :)
