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.

Gas costs $2.05 per gallon. You go on a trip of 150 miles and your car gets 25 miles per gallon. How much will you spend on gas?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: 12.30 dollars will be spent

Step-by-step explanation: If you go on a trip of 150 miles and each mile is 25 miles per gallon, I divided 150 miles from 25 = 6. Then each gallon cost $2.05 dollars, if we want to know how much will they spend on gas you have to multiply how much per mile and how much it cost. So 2.05 times 6 = 12.30.
