<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.

Number 5 should be no solution becuase the n's cancel out.

For 6:
Part A is -2 because slope represents the change in weigh/change in time (-2/1 or -2)
Part B is y=-2x+231 (-2 is the slope and 231 is the y-intercept)
For part C, based on the slope, we can find that her weight will go below 200 at week 16 when it is 199

Hope this helps!

What is the volume of a sphere with surface area of 25 pi yd squared?

kherson [118]

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \cline{1-1} SA=25\pi \end{cases}\implies 25\pi =4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{25\pi }{4\pi }=r^2\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}}=r\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}=r\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=r \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\ V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\qquad \qquad \implies V=\cfrac{4\pi \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^3}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{4\pi \cdot \frac{125}{8}}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\frac{500\pi }{8}}{~~\frac{3}{1}~~} \\\\\\ V=\cfrac{500\pi }{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{500\pi }{24}\implies V=\cfrac{125\pi }{6}\implies V\approx 65.45$

Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, inconsistent? {12x=3y=12 y=-4x+5

Alla [95]

Okay so you out them into the form of y=mx+b. since equation 2 is already like that you need to do it to equation 1. which is y=-4x+4. graph both equations. if it has a solution (1 point where the two lines meet) it is consistantly and independent. if they are parallel lines and the solution is 0 the system is inconsistent and the lines are dependent. if it's the same line they are consistent and dependent. the line is not the same since the y intercept is different. the slope is the same though which tells us its parallel. so the system has a solution of 0 and is inconsistent and the lines are independent.
