For the answer to the question above, 
10/12 can be simplified down
I would divide both sides by 2 for starters, then you can see if it needs to be simplified more
10/2=5
12/2=6
Since you have an odd and an even number, you can't simplify it anymore, as 5 and 6 have no common numbers.
The correct answer is 5/6

Answer:

The ratio is \frac{7}{15} when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the surface area to volume for the square prism is given by the expression

\frac{2b+4h}{bh}

We have to find the ratio when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

Substitute b=15 and h=10 in the given expression.

\frac{2(15)+4(10)}{(15)(10)}

\frac{30+40}{150}

\frac{70}{150}

\frac{7}{15}

Therefore the ratio is \frac{7}{15} when b = 15 ft and h = 10 ft.

A washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. The washer cost $45 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?​
Talja [164]

When a washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. If  the washer cost $45 more than the dryer, then the cost of the dryer is $475

The combined cost of a washer and a dryer = $995

Consider the cost of a dryer as x

The washer cost $45 more than the dryer.

The cost of the washer = x+45

Then the equation will be

x+x+45 = 995

2x+45 = 995

2x = 950

x = 950/2

x = 475

The cost of the dryer is $475

Hence, when a washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. If  the washer cost $45 more than the dryer, then the cost of the dryer is $475
