As punishment for bad behavior during recess, Mrs. Busywork asked her class to multiply 10 by 1/3 five times. John, however, notices that it is possible to multiply 10 by a single fraction and still get the same answer as the other students. What is this single fraction? PLS HELP ASAP!!!!!

Respuesta :

It is the simplest expression which is a multiple of both of the original denominators. Then, the numerators only are added, and the result is divided by the lowest common denominator. Example. Express as a single fraction.
10/243 * 1/10 = 1/243
single fraction is 1/243
