Reduce the fractions to simplest form 8/12

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 8/12 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 8 and 12.

Since the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8 and the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, the greatest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4. So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 8/12 by 4 to get 2/3.

I have shown my work in the image attached.

So, your answer is 2/3.

The simplest form of 8/12 is 2/3.


The easiest way to simplify fractions is to first see if both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, as dividing by 2 is not very difficult. In this case, both 8 and 12 are divisible by 2, so we get the fraction 4/6.


However, 4/6 is not the simplest form as we can see that both 4 and 6 can be divided by 2 again, which gives us the answer of 2/3.


We know that this is the answer as there is no common factor, like 2, that goes in to both 2 and 3.


I hope this helps!

Please help its a growth and decay problem

So you have to find 7% of 15,300 to start decreasing
7% of 15,300 is 1,071 therefore you do this problem: 15,300 - 1,071 = 14,229
Now the question from me is: do you keep the 7% of 15,300 or do you find the 7% of 14,229?
I did the math for both ways:

7% of 15,300 continuously = 3,519 acres in 2013

Or

7% of every resulting number after 15,300 = 6,851 acres in 2013

Hope this helps and you’ll probably have a better chance if it’s multiple choice ;) good luck

Write an equation in point slope form and change into slope intercept form
Mariana [72]

Answer:

  • y -3 = -4(x -0)   or   y -3 = -4x
  • y = -4x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

Fill in the given values:

  y -3 = -4(x -0) . . . . point-slope form of the equation of the line

__

To get this to slope-intercept form, you want to rearrange it to ...

  y = mx + b

Eliminating parentheses get you ...

  y -3 = -4x

Adding 3 puts the equation in the desired form:

  y = -4x +3

The value of the digit 9 is ten times as much as the 9 in 893,417.
stepladder [879]

Answer: 943,212

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that you want to know the value of a given digit in a given number, where the digit is x.

Now, you should count the position of this digit, starting at the decimal point and counting to the left.

This position, a number n, will give the value of our digit as:

Value = x*10^(n-1)

in the number 893,417 the digit 9 is in the fifth place (counting from right to left).

Then the value of this 9 is:

9*10^(5 - 1) = 90,000

Now, if we want something ten times larger than this, we have:

N = 10*90,000 = 900,000

Now the 9 is in the sixth place, then we must find a number with a 9 in the sixth place, for example, 943,212.

Johnny scored 8 out of 10 attempts, Ray scores 1 out of 2 attempts and David scored 12 out of 20 attempts
hjlf

Answer:

Johnny

Step-by-step explanation:

If we convert it so everyone has denominators of 20 we get:

(These are still equal to what their scores before were)

Johnny: 16/20

Ray: 10/20

David: 12/20

Johnny has made the most free throw shots, therefore, they have done the best.

Hope this helps!
