Answer :
16/48 reduced to lowest terms would be 1/3. Feel free to check by multiplying 1 and 3 by 16.
[tex] \frac{16}{48} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{8}{24} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
To reduce to the lowest terms, you must find a common factor.
[tex] \frac{16}{48} has the 2 as a common factor, so you divide each side by 2[/tex]=[tex] \frac{8}{24} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] because 8 is a factor for 8, once, and 24, 3 times.
The answer is [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] reduced to the lowest terms.
