Write 45/72 in the simplest form

Hi! 

In my opinion, the easiest way to solve a problem like this is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both numbers by the GCF. 

So first we need to find the factors of 45 and 72 and find the factor that has the most value that the two numbers both have. 

45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45

72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

It looks like the GCF is 9. Now we have to divide 45 and 72 by 9. 

45 ÷ 9 = 5

72 ÷ 9 = 8

So the correct answer should be:

\frac{45}{72} =  \frac{5}{8}

Hope this helps :)

givi [52]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the price per share of a stock decreased from $90 per share to $36 per share

In this problem

$90 represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent the difference of ($90-$36)

($90-$36)=$54

Let

x ----> the percentage of the difference

\frac{100\%}{\$90}=\frac{x}{\$54}\\\\x=54(100)/90\\\\x=60\%

Elan Coil [88]
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
 We have then:
 n: unknown number.
 We write the algebraic expression:
 13 - 4n
 For n = 3 we have:
 13 - 4 (3) = 13 - 12 = 1
 Answer:
 
An expression that represents this phrase is:
 
13 - 4n
 
its value if n = 3 is:

I can only guess that you meant to write

12 + 3 = 3 + 12

which would be the commutative property of addition.
