What is the lowest terms for 4/8

2 answers:

8 0

Well, lowest terms means 'to simplify a fraction.' So, 4/8 simplified is 1/2. To do this, I dividied 4/8 by 4: 4/4=1 and 8/4=2, that is how I got 1/2

To find the simplest form of a fraction, you have to find the greatest common factor (GCF). To do so, list out the factors of the numerator (4) and the denominator (8) and find the biggest common number between the two numbers.

Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4 ,8

Out of those factors, we can see that 1, 2, and 4 are the common factors, but 4 is the greatest which makes it our GCF.

Now we can divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF to receive our simplest form.

4 ÷ 4 = 1
8 ÷ 4 = 2

Rewrite the fraction with the new numerator (1) and the new denominator (2).

The simplest form of 4/8 is: 1/2 or 0.5.

Given a sequence is defined by the explicit definition tn=n^2+n.... (questions attached)

s2008m [1.1K]

Question 1: The correct answer is Option 3: 20

Question 2: The correct answer is Option 3: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We put the term number as value of n in explicit formula to find the term.

Question 1:

Given

$t_n=n^2+n$

To find t4, we will put t=4 in explicit formula

$t_4=(4)^2+4\\t_4=16+4\\t_4=20$

The correct answer is Option 3: 20

Question 2:

Given, the explicit formula

$t_n=2^n-n$

We have to find the 5th term, putting n=5 in the explicit formula

$t_5=2^5-5\\=32-5\\=27$

The correct answer is Option 3: 27

The radius of a 12 inch right circular cylinder is measured to be 4 inches, but with a possible error of ±0.2 inch. What is the

GuDViN [60]

Given:
r = radius = 4
h = height = 12
dr = error in radius = 0.2

What we want to find
dV = error in volume

Use the derivative to find the differential dV
V = pi*r^2*h
dV/dr = d/dr[ pi*r^2*h ]
dV/dr = 2pi*r*h
dV = 2pi*r*h*dr
dV = 2pi*4*12*0.2
dV = 19.2pi

So if the error in measuring the radius is +-0.2 inches, then the error in the cylinder volume is +-19.2pi cubic inches (we either measure the volume to be 19.2pi cubic inches too big, or 19.2pi cubic inches too small)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Answer: Plus or minus 19.2pi cubic inches

Note: your teacher may want you to drop the "plus or minus" part

Please Help I'd Really Appreciate It.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

PB = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

T is a point in between P & B. When P & B will be joined , a line segment PB is formed. So ,

PB= PT + TB.

Here the values of PT & TB are given . So,

PB = 15 + 10 = 25

Jessie is completing a mental rotation experiment. her reaction time will be fastest when the objects are rotated: 120 degrees.

MatroZZZ [7]

60 degrees it will take you longer to rotate this physical object by 180 degrees than to rotate it 90 degrees. your mental image should operate the same way the physical objects operate. then it will take you longer to rotate the mental image 180 degrees then rotate it 90 degrees. the dependent variable was reaction time not accuracy.
