Hello!
Total brownies: 16 (so that's the denominator of the fraction)
Brownies with nuts: 6 (that's the numerator of our fraction)
The fraction is:
[tex]\bf{\displaystyle\frac{6}{16}}[/tex]
Divide the numerator (6) and denominator (16) by 2:
[tex]\bold{\displaystyle\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]
That's the answer.
I hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒ Given:
Conner made 16 brownies.
Put nuts on 6 brownies.
⇒ To Find:
Write the simplified fraction of the brownies that had nuts.
⇒ Solution:
Since Conner made 16 brownies:
16 brownies is the total also known as denominator of a fraction.
Since, Conner put nuts on 6 brownies:
6 brownies is the ones that has nuts also known as numerator of a fraction.
Thus, the fraction is [tex]\frac{6}{16}[/tex].
It a even number thus, we can simplify:
[tex]\mathrm{Factor\:the\:number:\:}\:6=2\cdot \:3[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Factor\:the\:number:\:}\:16=2\cdot \:8[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{2\cdot \:8}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, the simplify fraction of the brownies that had nuts is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
