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.

Yesterday the Bandits scored 56 points in their basketball game. Today they scored 42 points. What is the percent decrease of Th
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

x = 25% percent decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we will use percentage calculation and make proportion:

Initial value 56 points is worth 100%

Second value 56 - 42 = 14 points of decrease is worth x%

56 : 14 = 100 : x

When we multiply external and internal members we get:

56 · x = 14 · 100 => x = 1400/56 = 25%

x = 25% percent decrease
