How to simplify fraction to its lowest terms

Mathematics

To simplify a fraction you find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of the numerator and denominator.

To find the GCF find all the factors of both numbers and the factor that is highest is your GCF.

 Example: 6/15

6: 1, 2, 3, 6
15: 1, 3, 5, 15

Three is the GCF in this example.

To simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF.

Example: 6/15

6/3 = 2
15/3 = 5

6/15 = 2/5

5/15 = 1/3
6/15 = 2/5
6/8 = 3/4
2/4 = 1/2

What is 1/6x=4 in solving equations with rational coefficients
Debora [2.8K]
To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).

\frac{1}{6}x =4 The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
6( \frac{1}{6} x)= 6(4)  The product of reciprocals equals 1 
1x = 24
x = 24

I know that the surface area is equal to 264 but I need to know how to get there (the steps)
Ray Of Light [21]
You posted the question twice ... I have repeated the answer here .. .

Find the area of all the sides:
10 x 9 = 90
9 x 8 = 72
1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24
1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24
6 x 9 = 54

Add them up:
90 + 72 + 24 + 24 + 54 = 264 square metres

2. Carissa also has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 3617 in3. One day, her sink clogged. She
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:Yes, your answers are correct.

The volume of a cone is given by V = 1/3πr²h.  Since the diameter of the first cone is 4, the radius is 2; therefore the volume is

V = 1/3π(2²)(8) = 32π/3

We divide the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by the volume of the cone:

2000π/3 ÷ 32π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/32π = 6000π/96π = 62.5 ≈ 63.

The diameter of the second conical cup is 8, so the radius is 4.  The volume then is:

V = 1/3π(4²)(8) = 128π/3

Dividing the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by 128π/3:

2000π/3 ÷ 128π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/128π = 6000π/384π = 15.625 ≈ 16
