A school conducts 27 tests in 36 weeks. Assume the school conducts tests at a constant rate. What is the slope of the line that represents the number of tests on the y-axis and the time in weeks on the x-axis? Slope is y/x,so we have 27/36. Using our fraction simplifier, we can reduce 27/36 to...

There are 1 carrot, 3 onions, and 2 potatoes in a sink. What fraction of the vegetables are onions? We have 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 total vegetables. Which means we have 3/6 onions. But, we can reduce this fraction. Simplifying 3/6 using our fraction simplifier, we get 1/2.
