11/18 do the fraction tree thing like this
54- 1,54-2,27-3,18- 9,6 and soo on
same with 33
33- 1,33- 3, 11
notice the same no. 3 in both the factors
now divide 33/3 = 11
and 54/3 18
hence it's 11/18
hope that helps

To reduce fractions you need a common factor. If you look at 33 it only has 4 factors; 1, 3,11,33. Which of these numbers is also a factor of 54? Well 1 is but not 11 or 33 so try 3. 3 divides evenly into 54..... 18 times. So your fraction 33/54 is reduced to 11/18 if you divide numerator and denominator by 3.

Well, to find the simplest form of a fraction, you must find the largest number that both the numerator [top part of the fraction] and denominator [bottom part of the fraction] are divisible by. In this case, it is 3. So you divide both of the numbers by 3. So you get 11/18.

Hope this helped, good luck!

You can factorise 33 as 11*3, and 54 as 2*3*3*3.
That means you can cancel a 3 from both numerator and denominator, leaving 11 / 18.

Divide each side by 3

33/54 divided by 3/3= 11/18

33/54

33 divided by 3 equals 11, your numerator.
54 divided by 3 equals 18, your denominator.

Therefore, 33/54 in simplest form is 11/18.

It's 11/18.

To solve, factor each number completely, then cancel out the like factors.

33/54 = (3*11)/(3*3*3*2)

Cancel out one three in each, and you get:

(11)/(3*3*2) = 11/18
