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!

Enter your answer, in simplest radical form.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 30x\sqrt{2y}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{6x} x \sqrt{15xy} x \sqrt{20}

This can also be written as :

\sqrt{6x.15xy.20}

= \sqrt{1800x^{2}y}

which could be written as :

\sqrt{900x^{2}} x \sqrt{2y}

= 30x\sqrt{2y}

Jamie takes at random a counter from the bag and records the colour. Red : blue : green = 1:3:7 Jamie does this a number of time
Sonbull [250]

Answer: There are 249 times Jamie takes a counter from the bag.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of colour of red to blue to green is 1:3:7.

Number of blue counters = 68

Let the total number of times Jamie does from the bag be x.

So, According to question,

\frac{3}{11}\times x=68\\\\x=\frac{11}{3}\times 68\\\\x=249.33\\\\=249\ approx.

Hence, there are 249 times Jamie takes a counter from the bag.
