<span>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 (15) and the denominator (45) and find the biggest common number between the two numbers.
</span>
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Out of those factors, we can see that 1, 3, 5, and 15 are the common factors, but 15 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.

15 ÷ 15 = 1
45 ÷ 15 = 3

Rewrite the fraction with the new numerator (1) and the new denominator (3).

The simplest form of 15/45 is: 1/3 or 0.3333.

Find the measure of each angle and tell which postulates or theorems you used <br> ?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

∠6=78° ∠7=102° ∠14=78°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 6 and 7 are supplementary angles so ∠a+∠b=180°

in this case it would be 102°+x=180° and you subtract 102° from 180° getting 78°

∠7 is the vertical angles postulate stating that any angles vertical to each other are eaqual

What is the slope of the line?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (k) is the rise over run of the line

a way of finding the slope if you have two dots of the line is:

$k \: = \frac{y2 - y2}{x2 - x2}$

here the dots that belong to the line that you can most easily see are:

A(-6,0)

B(0,6)

by inserting the values into the euquation you get:

$\frac{6 - 0}{0 - ( - 6)} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$

good luck with your maths solving

mylen [45]

Answer:

3.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lara is putting lace trim around the border of a circular tablecloth, by the time she finishes she has covered the circumference.

The circumference of a circle is calculated using:

$C=\pi \: d$

where d is the diameter of the circle.

It was given that the diameter of the circular table cloth is 1.2 meters.

$C=3.14 \times 1.2$

$C=3.768$

Therefore the length of the lace she needed is 3.8m
