Write 45/72 in the simplest form

Oliga [24]

Hi!

In my opinion, the easiest way to solve a problem like this is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both numbers by the GCF.

So first we need to find the factors of 45 and 72 and find the factor that has the most value that the two numbers both have.

45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45

72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

It looks like the GCF is 9. Now we have to divide 45 and 72 by 9.

45 ÷ 9 = 5

72 ÷ 9 = 8

So the correct answer should be:

$\frac{45}{72} = \frac{5}{8}$

Hope this helps :)

The average height of a family of five is 150 cm. If the height of 4 family members is 153, 150, 151, and 152, find the height o

Lady bird [3.3K]

J can find the height of the fifth member on this way
S=150
S1=153
S2=150
S3=151
S4=152
S5=?
S= (s1+s2+s3+s4+s5)/5:
5*150= <span>153+150+151+152+S5
S5=5*150-606=750-606=144

Answer:

the probability is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).

p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5

Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.

The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:

p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.

p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9

5 of them
5(15-d)=cost of shirts

so total cost=15+5(15-d)
