Answer: 7/8

What you have to do here is to find the highest number which can be divided by both. Or you have to divide both the numerator and denominator until it can not be divided by any number anymore. You can do this by finding the highest common factor (<u>HCF)</u> of both the number, 35 and 40.

Highest Common Factor: HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides the numbers. For example, 2 is the HCF of 4 and 6.

So, the highest number which divides 35 and 40, is 5. Now 35 divided by 5 is 7 and 40 divided by 5 is 8. The final answer is 7/8 and there is no more numbers which can divide both of them by a specific number.

What are benefits of having a quadratic in standard form

jasenka [17]

Standard form allows you to easily find the y-intercept and determine if the parabola is concave up or down. Also, if it is not factorable, then it is in the correct form to apply the quadratic formula to find the x-intercepts.

What is linear equation?<br> What is quadratic equation?

mr_godi [17]

in the linear equation the greatest power of the variables is 1 for example:2X+4 this is a linear equation as the greatest power of the variable X is 1 also by drawing it in a graph you will obtain a straight line
while in the quadratic equation the greatest power is 2 for instance:X^2+4X-3 this is a Quadratic equation because the greatest power of the variable X is 2 also by drawing it on a graph you will obtain a parabola which is a curve "an upward curve or downward curve"
