Answer:

  5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.

  40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7

_____

Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.

__

If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...

  56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16

  40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8

  16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD

Now, your fraction is ...

  (40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7

Write the equation of the circle centered at ( 4 , − 5 ) with radius 18.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(x-4)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 324

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by the equation (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center point of the circle.

Therefore, since the center point of the circle and the radius is given, we can just plug the numbers into the formula:

(x-4)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 18^2

<u>(x-4)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 324</u>

How do i do this some one please explain
Talja [164]

Well since we already have our unit per mile.

We know that 1 mile = $3.50

And that the tow company towed the car 12 miles.

So we would have to multiply 12 by $3.50

soo..

12 x $3.50 = $42.00

So your answer is D. $42.00
