5 feet is 5*12=60 inches. Therefore, our ratio is 28:60. Dividing both terms by 4, we see that the most simple ratio is 7:15.

6/(x-1)-5x/4
subtracting the above we put the fraction under the same denominator:
6/(x-1)-5x/4
multiplying the denominators we get:
4(x-1)
thus subtracting we get:
6/(x-1)-5x/4
=(4*6-5x(x-1))/[4(x-1)]
=[24-5x^2+5x]/(4x-4)
Answer:
(-5x^2+5x+24)/(4x-4)

3/(x+7)+4/(x-8)
the common denominator is:
(x+7)*(x-8)=(x+7)(x-8)
thus adding the fractions we put them under the same denominator as follows:
[3(x-8)+4(x+7)]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=[3x-24+4x+28]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=(7x+4)/[(x+7)(x-8)]
Answer:
your answer should be 37:7
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 777 and 147 is 21
Divide both terms by the GCF, 21:
777 ÷ 21 = 37
147 ÷ 21 = 7
The ratio 777 : 147 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 21 :
777 : 147 = 37 : 7
Therefore:
777 : 147 = 37 : 7
I assume the denominator is (4-√3)
Multiple both top and bottom by (4+√3)
[5(4+√3)]/[(4-√3)(4+√3)]
=[20+5√3]/[4²-(√3)²]
=[20+5√3]/13
