24 = 2*12= 2*4*3= 2*2*2*3
40 = 5*8 = 5*2*2*2

Greatest common factor is what the number have in common as factors.
We see that both numbers have (2*2*2) = 8
So, greatest common factor is 8.

Find the common ratio and the next term for the sequence shown. Express your answers as fractions or as decimals.

Cerrena [4.2K]

The common ratio of the sequence is calculated by dividing the second term by the first term or dividing the third term by the second term. That is,
r = 250 / 333 = 0.75
or r = 187 / 250 = 0.748 = 0.75
To get the next term, we multiply 187 by 0.75 giving us an answer of 140.25 or 141.

Students in Miss Moseley's fourth grade class are learning multiplication, and they demonstrate mastery by passing assessments.

Answer:
Each will have passed 17 tests and it will take 3 weeks.

Explanation: 
Let x be the number of weeks.
The number of tests Travis passes to begin with is 11.
We then add 2 tests per week, or 2x to that, giving us:
11+2x.

The number of tests Jenifer has passed to begin with is 2.
We then add 5 tests per week, or 5x to that, giving us:
2+5x.

Setting these equal, we have: 
11+2x=2+5x.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
11+2x-2x=2+5x-2x;
11=2+3x.

Subtract 2 from each side: 
11-2=2+3x-2;
9=3x.

Divide both sides by 3:
 $\frac{9}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$ ;
3=x.

It will take 3 weeks.
In 3 weeks,
Travis will have passed:
11+2*3 = 11+6 = 17 tests.
Jenifer will have passed the same number, since she catches up with him at this point.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4k^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as $k*(4k^{4})^{-1}$ or $k*4^{-1}*k^{-4}$ The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.
