In lowest terms, the answer would be a. 2/5 because what you do is divide the  numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In this case, the greatest common factor of 16 and 40 is 8. Divide 16 and 40 by 8 and you will get the fraction 2/5. And since 2/5 cannot be simplified any longer, this lets you know that 16/40 in lowest terms is 2/5.

5. The cost of a notebook increased from $4.30 to $4.58, what is the percent increase?
KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is 6.5
Explanation : 1. Find out the increase number by subtracting 4.58 - 4.30 = 0.28 or 6.51%
2. Divide the increase number 0.28 by 4.30 and multiple by 100 which gives you 6.51162791 .
3. Get rid of all the numbers behind 5 and you can’t round it because 1 is too small. Which then gives you the answer 6.5 :) <3

What is the area of the medal platform?
Pani-rosa [81]
The total area is 78 sq. ft.

Since the medal platform has different measurements, we need to individually compute the area of each polygon.

The top polygon is a square. Its sides measure 3 ft. 

A₁ = a²
A₁ = 3 ft²
A₁ = 9 ft²

The middle polygon is a rectangle. 

Its total width can be derived by adding the widths given and the width of the square above.

w = 3 ft + 3 ft + 3 ft
w = 9 ft

A₂ = width * height
A₂ = 9 ft * 2 ft
A₂ = 18 ft²

The bottom polygon is also a rectangle.

w = 4 ft + 9 ft + 4 ft
w = 17 ft

A₃ = width * height
A₃ = 17 ft * 3 ft
A₃ = 51 ft²

Total Area = A₁ + A₂ + A₃
T.A. = 9 ft² + 18 ft² + 51 ft²
T.A. = 78 ft²

if an elephant were scaled up to triple its size while retaining its present proportions, its strength-to-weight ratio would be
andre [41]

Answer:

1/3 of the original

Step-by-step explanation:

As an an object is scaled up with the same proportions, one might think ts strength to weight ratio scales up with it. However, since the object as it scales greater in size also increases in weight, the strength to weight ratio actually decreases. If the elephant is scaled up 3 times, then its strength to weight ratio is divided by the same amount and is 1/3 the original or 1/3 as much.
