Answer: 17/24

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 34/48 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 34 and 48.

Since the factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, 34 and the factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48, the greatest common factor of 34 and 48 is 2.

So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 34/48 by 2.

34 divided by 2 is 17 and 48 divided by 2 is 24.

So 34/48 written in lowest terms is 17/24.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

They arrived at am and left at pm

Step-by-step explanation:

What do you need to find?

We need to find the time when Lea and her father arrived at the scenic overlook and the time when they left.

What do you need to find first?

First we need to find the exact minutes they arrived and left. Then we have to determine whether it was am or pm

Steps:

1. Noting the time they arrived

They arrived 15 minutes before noon

2. Determining whether it was am or pm

Noon is 12 pm by convention

Midnight is 12 am by convention

3. Calculating the minutes for exact time

Each hour has 60 minutes:

60 - 15 = 45

4. Determining the time(am or pm) after subtracting 15 minutes

which means they arrived at 11:45 am (am is used for time before 12 at noon)

5. They left 12 minutes after the noon:

Noon time is 12 pm

6. Adding 12 minutes to 12pm

The exact time becomes 12:12pm

Answer:

$f(5)=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function: $f(x)=x^2-3x-2$

To find $f(5)$ , simply input $x=5$ into the function:

$\begin{aligned}\implies f(5) & =5^2-3(5)-2\\& = 25-15-2\\& = 10-2\\& = 8\end{aligned}$
