Question

Bob has a problem with reading fractions. So, his friend Ciara converts the fraction $9\frac{9}{18}$ to its simplest form for him. Choose the simplest form of the given fraction.

• A. $9\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $9\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $1\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $1\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $9\frac{1}{2}$

The fraction $9\frac{9}{18}$ can be written in its simplest form if we keep the whole part aside and reduce the remaining fraction.

$\frac{9}{18}=\frac{9\times 1}{9\times 2}=\frac{1}{2}$
Now, bringing the whole part together, the required fraction is $9\frac{1}{2}$.
