$131/25$ or 131:25

$524:100=cancel524^131/cancel100^25=131/25$

$131:25$

$524/100 -=(524-:2)/(100-:2) =262/50$

$(262-:2)/(50-:2) = 131/25$

You must write this is the same format as the question giving:-

$131:25$

Check: $" "524-: 100 = 5.24$
$" "131 -:25 = 5.24$

Thus $131:25$ is correct

131 : 25

Determine the factors of each number

$524/100$ = $(262 * 2) / (50 * 2)$ = $(131 * 2 * 2)/(25 * 2 * 2)$

Remove all the 2's from Numerator and Denominator because they are common factors. This will leave you with

$131/25$

which can be written as

131 : 25
