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

Carol used 114 cups of flour in 2 muffins. How many cups of flour are needed to make 12 similar muffins?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

7 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If Carol uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for 2 muffins, then she will need to repeat this conversion 6 times since she wants to make identical 12 muffins in all.

So, 1 1/4 * 6 = 7 1/2

Therefore, she needs 7 1/2 cups of flour

Hope that helps! :)

Marked price of an article is rs 1500 what is selling price with 10 %vat<br><br><br><br>​
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

if no discount is allowed

MP = SP = 1500

sp with vat = sp = vat amount

vat amount = vat% of sp

                    = 10% 0f 1500

                    = 150

sp with vat = sp = vat amount

                   = 1500 + 150

                  =   1650

Find the perimeter of the quadrilateral that has vertices at (8,13), (5,-18), (-6,-6), and (-2,-5).
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

72.14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(8,13), B(5,-18),C(-6,-6) and D(-2,-5)

Apply the distance formula as;

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Finding the lengths of the segments

For AB

AB=\sqrt{(5-8)^2+(-18-13)^2} =\sqrt{(-3^2)+(-31^2)} =\sqrt{970} =31.14

For BC

BC=\sqrt{(-6-5)^2+(-6--18)^2} =\sqrt{(-11^2)+12^2} =\sqrt{265} =16.28

For CD

CD=\sqrt{(-2--6)^2+(-5--6)^2} =\sqrt{4^2+1^2} =\sqrt{16+1} =\sqrt{17} =4.12

For DA

DA=\sqrt{(8--2)^2+(13--5)^2} =\sqrt{10^2+18^2} =\sqrt{424} =20.6

Finding the perimeter will be;

31.14+16.28+4.12+20.6=72.14 units
