Find the greatest rational number r such that the ratios 8/15 ÷r and 18/35 ÷r are whole numbers.

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.

A box contains 15 lbs.of books. There are 20 books in the box. How much does each book weigh?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The purple circle, not ring is pi 7 squared = 153.93804

Then subtract the smaller circles area (pi 4 squared) = 153.9... - 103.6725576 =

50.2654824

Purple ring is 50.2654824

The entire circle is 4+3+3 (10) squared times pi = 314.1592654

( 50.2654824 / 314.1592654 ) x 100 = 15.999999998 %
