Flashcard 8 - Arithmetic Reasoning Flashcard Set for the ASVAB

\[\frac{1}{3}\]

All three given fractions reduce to \(\frac{1}{3}\).

Finding the greatest common factor for the numerator and denominator of each of these fractions enables us to reduce them all to \(\frac{1}{3}\) by dividing both numerator and denominator of each by that common factor:

\[\frac{8 \div 8}{24 \div 8} = \frac{1}{3}\] \[\frac{9 \div 9}{27 \div 9} = \frac{1}{3}\] \[\frac{12 \div 12}{36 \div 12} = \frac{1}{3}\]
