This question is asking for a list of fractions, that when you pull out common factors, they will all simplify back to the 8/5 fraction.
So if 2 is the common factor, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.
2: (8*2)/(5*2)= 16/10
3: (8*3)/5*3)= 24/15
4: (8*4)/(5*4)= 32/20
5: (8*5)/(5*5)= 40/25
10: (8*10)/5*10)= 80/50
Eloise's Potential List:
16/10, 24/15, 32/20, 40/25, 80/50
If you simplify any of these fractions above, you will get 8/5 again.
To work backwards:
80/50: 10 goes into 80, 10 goes into 50= 8/5
16/10: 2 goes into 16, 2 goes into 10= 8/5
Hope this helps! :)
D. x=3
I don't really know how to explain it other than the only points on the line are sitting at the x=3 and y=anything
1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.
2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.
Total owed to the business = $100,000
amount that could not be collected = $5000
Fraction of total not collected
I think it would be 1235404 because 4 times 100 equals 400
