Steps to simplifying fractions

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 15 and 40 is 5

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

15 ÷ 5

40 ÷ 5

Reduced fraction:  

3 /8

Un grupo de compañeros de clase está planificando un viaje de cada uno de ellos hicieron aportación de 14 pesos para gastos de v
Crank

Answer:

$14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a mistype in the question. It should say: ... <em>si cada uno de ellos hicieron una contribución de </em><em>dieciseis</em><em> pesos...</em>

So if everybody contributes $14, they make a total of 14*x, where x denotes the number of students. In this scenario, $4 are left, calling y to the cost of the trip, then:

14*x = y - 4 (eq. 1)

In the other scenario, everybody contributes $16 and $6 are in excess, so

16*x = y + 6 (eq. 2)

subtracting eq. 1 to eq. 2:

16*x - 14*x = y + 6 - (y - 4)

2*x =  y + 6 - y + 4

2*x = 10

x = 10/2 = 5

Replacing this value in eq. 1:

14*5 = y - 4

70 + 4 = y

y = $74

If every student pays: 74/5 =  $14.8, then they would get altogether the exact cost of the trip

kifflom [539]

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7

masya89 [10]
Let d = 0.825252525..., then
10d = 8.25252525...=8\frac{25}{10^2-1}=8\frac{25}{99}

Therefore,
d=\frac{8}{10}+\frac{25}{990}=\frac{8(99)+25}{990}=\frac{817}{990}
