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.

The graphs below are based on government data on unemployment for 2017.
lord [1]

You already got the first two questions right: the group with the highest number of people unemployed / unemployment rate is the one with the highest bar in the respective histogram.

The two graph are related in this sense: take the first age group as reference. We know that 700 people from 16 to 19 are unemployed, and that those people represent 14% of the population, then we know that the 14% of the population between 16 and 19 is 700.

We can deduce that, if x is the number of people between 16 and 19, we have

\dfrac{14}{100}x=700 \iff \dfrac{7}{50}x=700 \iff \dfrac{x}{50}=100 \iff x=5000

So, by the relation between the two graphs, we can deduce the total population for each age group.
