500 : 1 expresses the ratio of sheets of paper to reams in simplest form ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • There are 4000 sheets of paper
  • There are 8 reams

We need to find the ratio between the sheets of paper to the reams in simplest form

∵ The number of the sheets is 4000

∵ The number of the reams is 8

→ sheet  :  ream

→ 4000  :  8

to simplify the ratio divide the two terms by the same number

∵ 4000 ÷ 2 = 2000 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4

∵ 2000 ÷ 2 = 1000 and 4 ÷ 2 = 2

∵ 1000 ÷ 2 = 500 and 2 ÷ 2 = 1

∴ 4000 and 8 can be divided by 8 to get the simplest form

   of the ratio

→ sheet        :  ream

→ 4000 ÷ 8  :  8 ÷ 8

→ 500           :  1

∴ The ratio of sheets to reams is 500 : 1

500 : 1 expresses the ratio of sheets of paper to reams in simplest form

Answer: 45b^4/32

Step-by-step explanation: First multiply the two fractions

15b^3y(3b)/8y x 4

Multiply 3 by 15

45b^3yb/8y x 4

Raise b to power of 1

45(b^1b^3)y/8y x 4

Use power rule to combine exponents

45b^1+3 y/8y x 4

Simplify

45b^4y/32y

Cancel common factor of y

45b^4/32

I need help with number 8
murzikaleks [220]
Since we know what he earns hourly, and his sales, we can figure out his full gross pay for the week.
As so:

We can set up an equation like this:
<em>h</em> = hours
<em>s</em> = sales
9.60h + 5%s

Now, we substitute.
9.60(35) + 5%(230)

Next, solve.
336.00 + 11.50
$347.50

$347.50 was Glen's gross pay for the week.

Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or I did not provide the answer you were looking for, let me know! However, if I did well, please consider marking as <em>Brainliest!
</em>Have a good one!
