Let's say you had the ratio 14:21
The GCF of the two values (14 and 21) is 7
14 = 7*2
21 = 7*3
We can divide both parts of the ratio by the GCF 7 to get
14/7 = 2
21/7 = 3
Meaning the original ratio 14:21 fully reduces to 2:3
So in short, we use the GCF to help fully reduce any ratio.
This also applies to fractions as well. We could have something like 9/33 fully reduce to 3/11 after dividing both parts (9 and 33) by the GCF 3.

You are correct for part A, good job! :D
As for part B, I <em>believe</em> the answers are function, nonlinear, and discrete.
Please let me know if I was wrong at any time. I hope this helps!!
The correct answer is 10! Just asked Siri!
Hi There!
----------------------------------------
Problem #1:
At the dealership where she works, Sade fulfilled 3/10 of her quarterly sales goal in January and another 1/10 of her sales goal in February. What fraction of her quarterly sales goal had Sade reached by the end of February?
3/10 + 1/10 = 4/10
4/10 of her goal.

Problem #2:
Shane has been monitoring his mileage. According to last week's driving log, he drove 1/10 of a mile in his car and 9/10 of a mile in his truck. How far did Shane drive last week in all?
1/10 + 9/10 = 10/10 = 1
Shane drove 1 mile.

Problem #3:
For a class experiment, Vina's class weighed a log before and after subjecting it to termites. Before subjecting it to termites, the log weighed 7/10 of a pound. After the termites, the log weighed 3/10 of a pound. How much weight did the termites take from the log?
7/10 - 3/10 = 4/10
The termites took 4/10 pound away from the log.

Hope This Helps :)
