How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
- List the factors of A
- List the factors of B
- Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
- Divide A and B each by the GCF
- Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2

Answer:
Length of RU is 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔRSt and ΔRUT,
ST ≅ TU [Given]
RT ≅ RT [Reflexive property]
∠RTS ≅ ∠RTU [Both the angles are the right angles]
ΔRTS ≅ ΔRTU [By SAS property of congruence]
Therefore, RS ≅ RU [By CPCTC (corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent]
8x = 6x + 5
8x - 6x = 5
2x = 5
x = 2.5
Length of RU = (6x + 5)
= 6(2.5) + 5
= 15 + 5
= 20
Length of RU is 20 units.
Commutative means that you can mix up the numbers, but still have the right answer.
2 x 10 x 7 =
2 x 7 x 10 =
10 x 2 x 7 =
10 x 7 x 2 =
7 x 2 x 10 =
7 x 10 x 2
Hope this helps :)
