The lowest number is 2/1 or 2.

reduce 8/4 to 4/2 which can be reduced to 2/1

Tju [1.3M]3 years ago

4 0

To reduce, you have to find the greatest common factor of both numbers. The greatest common factor is the biggest number that can divide into both numbers.

factors of 8: 1,2,4,8
factors of 4: 1,2,4

the biggest/greatest factor they have in common is 4.

once u find that, divide both numbers by the greatest common factor

8/4 4
------- = ---------
4/4 1

the answer is 4.
anything divided by 1 is the numerator (number on top of the fraction bar)

2. Solve the equation using the quadratic formula. -4x2 + 40x + 16 = 0 Page 1 of 2

kumpel [21]

The solution to given quadratic equation is x = -0.3851 or x = 10.3851

Solution:

Given equation is:

$-4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0$

To find: solve by quadratic equation formula

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text{ For} -4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0 \text{ we have } a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16$

Substituting the values of a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16 in above quadratic formula we get,

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{40^{2}-4(-4)(16)}}{2 \times-4}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{1600+256}}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm 43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40+43.081}{-8} \text { or } x=\frac{-40-43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=-0.3851 \text { or } x=10.3851\end{aligned}$

Thus the solution to given quadratic equation is x = - 0.3851 or x = 10.3851

A taxicab company charges $3.00 per ride and $0.75 for each mile driven. Your budget allows you to spend more than $10.00 but le

liraira [26]

The inequality is: x*0.75 + 3.00 < 20.00, where x represents the number of miles. When you solve the inequality, you get 22.66 miles. When you round up to 23 miles, you don't satisfy the inequality, so you have to round down to 22 miles.

Answer: (C) 22 miles
