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.

For each of the situations described, state whether the sampling procedure is simple random sampling, stratified random sampling
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The sampling method applied is Cluster sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cluster sampling method is the type of sampling where first the entire population is divided into homogeneous groups. Then a random sample of these groups are selected.

After selecting a sample of groups, a random sample of fixed size is selected from each group.

In this case all freshmen are first divided into 30 sections, then 4 random sections are selected and the students in those 4 sections are sampled.

The sampling method applied is Cluster sampling.

WILL MARK BRAINLYEST.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

1) The straight line on the graph below intercepts the two coordinate axes. The point where the line crosses the x-axis is called the [x-intercept]. The [y-intercept] is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Notice that the y-intercept occurs where x = 0, and the x-intercept occurs where y = 0.

2) There's another important value associated with graphing a line on the coordinate plane. It's called the "y intercept" and it's the y value of the point where the line intersects the y- axis. For this line, the y-intercept is "negative 1." ... This point will always have an x coordinate of zero.
