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.

Answer: 2z-15

Step-by-step explanation

Based on the visual image, AD is a line where a point O intersects somewhere on the line. AD is represented as 3z-11, while the segment from AO is represented as z+4.

In order to find the answer, we must subtract the entire line (AD) from AO in order to find the missing segment OD.

AD - AO = OD

(3z-11) - (z+4) = OD

Distribute the negative sign so it becomes:

(3z-11) -z - 4 = OD

Now combine like terms.

(3z-z) +(- 11 -4)= OD

2z - 15 = OD

And that is your answer!

There are 12 students in a classroom, including the triplets joey, chloe, and zoe. If 3 of the 12 are randomly selcted to give s

forsale [732]

The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)

= 1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent
