Divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor
Write down the reduced fraction
Example:

Reduce the fraction



Step 1:

Factors for 8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
Factors for 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Step 2:

The greatest common factor is 8

Step 3:

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 8

8 divided by 8 = 1
24 divided by 8 = 3

Step 4:

The answer is

omeli [17]
There are several information's of immense importance in the problem. Based on these information's the answer to the question can be easily reached. The only thing that has to be kept in mind is the calculation part, otherwise it is a simple problem.
Now it is given that:
A large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk.
Then
Amount of milk required to make medium shake = (8/9) * (1/7) of a pint
                                                                              = 8/63 of a pint
Then it can be said that for making a medium chocolate shake , 8/63 of a pint of milk is required. This is the simplest form of the fraction and it cannot be expressed as a mixed number since the denominator is higher than the numerator.

The maths question for algebra is
ankoles [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (2n +1) be the larger odd number by definition, where n can be any real integer. Then (2n - 1) is the smaller consecutive odd number.

The product of the 2 odd numbers is (2n + 1)(2n - 1) = 4n^2 - 1 = 2(2n^2) - 1. Since n^2 must be an integer, 2(2n^2) - 1 is odd. (Shown)

Brian invests £600 into his bank account. He receives 3.2% per year compound interest. How much will Brian have after 6 years? G
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = £600

r = 3.2% = 3.2/100 = 0.32

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 600(1 + 0.032/1)^1 × 6

A = 600(1.032)^6

A = £724.82
