Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 2/8 in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 2 and 8.

Since the factors of 2 are 1 and 2 and the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8, the greatest common factor of 2 and 8 is 2.

This means that we divide the numerator and the denominator of 2/8 by 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 1/4.

This means that 2/8 can be reduced.

Which expression shows how to find the quotient of 4.8÷2?

xenn [34]

Answer:

[A] (4 ÷ 2)+(0.8 ÷ 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the 2 into each digit, which must be in the same spot it was before:

Knowing that 8 in 4.8 ⇒ 0.8

Thus, you can infer that [B] is wrong

You also infer that [D] and [C] is wrong because 4 is a whole number.

Thus, that left us with [A] 4 ÷ 2+0.8 ÷ 2 which shows the quotient of 4.8 ÷ 2

Hence, [A] 4 ÷ 2+0.8 ÷ 2 is the answer.

Randomly assigned group. the art class isn't random and only consists of a select type of people--it is not a representative sample; maybe more left handed people enjoy art than do right handed people! therefore, even though the randomly assigned group is smaller, it is the better estimate.
