Answer:

8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

find the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator and then divide both by that factor

Listing factors of numerator and denominator

16: 1,2,4,8,16

18: 1,2,6,9,18

from the above we can see that the HCF is 2, so divide numerator and denominator by 2

16/18 (divide numerator and denominator by 2)
