In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it.  If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again.  Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.

Do  15  and  40  have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .

The factors of  15  are  1,  3,  <em>5</em>, and  15 .
The factors of  40  are  1,  2,  4,<em>  5</em>,  8,  10,  20, and  40 .

Ah hah !  Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ?  That's a common factor.

So  15/40  is NOT in lowest terms.

Divide the numerator and denominator both by  5 :

       15 / 40  =<em>  3 / 8</em>

3  and  8  don't have any common factor except ' 1 '. 
So  3/8  is the same number as  15/40, but in lowest terms.

Points (−3, 5) and (3, 5) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two players on a tennis court:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

4.  Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player 1's position is (-3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units left from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Player 2's position is (3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units right from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Hence, the two points are on the same horizontal line bisected by the y-axis.

So, Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

What is the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.9 cm and a base with the circumference of 2.9 cm rounded to
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Volume = 3.30 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

height = 14.9 cm

circumference = 2.9 cm

Process

1.- Calculate the radius

   circumference = 2πr

-Substitution

   2.9 = 2πr

-Solve for r

   r = 2.9/2π

   r = 1.45/π cm

2) Calculate the volume of the cone

   Volume = 1/3πr²h

-Substitution

   Volume = 1/3π(1.45/π)²(14.9)

-Simplify

   Volume = (1.04)(0.213)(14.9)

   Volume = 3.30 cm³

A rectangular area is to be fenced in with 300 feet of chicken wire. find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
GarryVolchara [31]
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
