In this lesson, I'm going to talk about how to simplify fractions.
2
So let's start with a basic example, 6 over 8.
3
How can we simplify this fraction?
4
Well, notice that 6 and 8 are both even numbers.
5
So therefore, we can divide each number by 2.
6
6 divided by 2 is 3.
7
8 divided by 2 is 4.
8
And so the answer is going to be 3 over 4.
9
Now what about 8 over 12?
10
How can we simplify that fraction?
11
So 8 and 12 are even numbers, so we can divide each number by 2.
12
8 divided by 2 is 4, 12 divided by 2 is 6.
13
Now we still have even numbers, so we can divide it by 2 again.
14
4 divided by 2 is 2, 6 divided by 2 is 3.
15
so the answer is 2 over 3.
16
Another way in which you can do that problem is you could realize
17
that 8 is basically 4 times 2 and 12 is 4 times 3
18
and so you can cancel 4 and then this will give you the final result of 2 over 3.
19
For the sake of practice go ahead and try these two examples 15 over 24 and 35 over 49
20
go ahead and simplify those two fractions 15 is 5 times 3 24 is 8 times 3
21
so we could cancel a 3 and
22
so the final answer for the first example it's going to be 5 over 8
23
Now let's move on to the next example.
24
What do you know about 35 and 49?
25
35 and 49 have a common number that goes into both of them, and that is 7.
26
35 is 7 times 5.
27
49 is 7 times 7.
28
And so we could cancel a 7, giving us the answer 5 over 7.
29
Try these two.
30
48 over 72 and also 38 over 57.
31
Now 48, what two numbers do you think is equal to 48?
32
The first two numbers that come in my mind are 8 and 6.
33
And 72 is 9 times 8 or 8 times 9.
34
So we could cancel on 8.
35
Now we could still simplify this further.
36
6 is 3 times 2.
37
9 is 3 times 3.
38
And so these can be cancelled.
39
Thus the final answer for that problem is 2 over 3.
40
Now what about 38 and 57?
41
Both numbers are divisible by 19.
42
19 times 2 is 38.
43
19 times 3 is 57.
44
And once again, the final answer is 2 over 3.
45
So now you know how to simplify fractions.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
