How to simplify factions

Mathematics
1 answer:
vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
6 0
Divide the numerator and denominator both by any common factor that
they have.  If it's their greatest common factor, then one time does it. 
If it's a smaller common factor, then you may have to do it more than once. 
When they have no common factor left except ' 1 ', then the faction is in its
simplest form.

The 4th and 8th term of a G.P. are 24 and 8/27 respectively. find the 1st term and common ratio
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric progression is

• a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₄ = 24, then

a₁r^{3} = 24 → (1)

Given a₈ = \frac{8}{27}, then

a₁r^{7} = \frac{8}{27} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

r^{4} = \frac{\frac{8}{27} }{24} = \frac{1}{81}

Hence r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81} } = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into (1)

a₁ × (\frac{1}{3} )³ = 24

a₁ × \frac{1}{27} = 24, hence

a₁ = 24 × 27 = 648
