Answer:

2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

"r" is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two fractions. It can be found using Euclid's algorithm in the usual way.

(8/15) - (18/35) = 56/105 - 54/105 = 2/105 . . . . . this is (8/15) mod (18/35)

We can see that the next step, division of 54/105 by 2/105, will produce a remainder of 0, so the GCD is 2/105.

The greatest rational number r is 2/105.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The ratios are (8/15)/(2/105) = 28; (18/35)/(2/105) = 27. These whole numbers are relatively prime, so there is no larger r than the one we found.

The table shows transactions from five different bank accounts. Fill in the missing numbers. ( THE IMAGE ATTACHED PLEASE)

velikii [3]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=80$

Part 2) $B=-25$

Part 3) $C=-40$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The old account balance plus the transaction amount is equal to the new account balance

The transaction amount can be a positive number (example a deposit) or a negative number (example a withdrawal)

Part 1) Find the value of A

$432+A=512$

solve for A

subtract 432 both sides

$A=512-432=80$

Part 2) Find the value of B

$75-100=B$

solve for B

$-25=B$

Rewrite

$B=-25$

Part 3) Find the value of C

$C+52=12$

solve for C

subtract 52 both sides

$C=12-52$

$C=-40$
