39/250 in simplest form
OleMash [197]
Getting the simplest form of a fraction is the same with getting its lowest term. Reducing fractions to its lowest term is a very simple thing to do. Here's how to simplify fractions:

There are two ways in simplifying fractions. The first method is to equally divide both numerator and denominator which results to only whole numbers. Getting the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) or GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the second method.

As to the fraction above, 39/250, the second method is applicable.
Let us get the GCF of 39 and 250
39= 1,3,13,39
250= 1, 2, 5,  10, 25, 50, 125, 250

Therefore, the GCF of 39 and 250 is 1. We can conclude then that 39/250 is already on its simplest form thus;
  <u>39</u>  ÷     <u>1</u> is equal to     <u>39</u>
 250       1                       250

A brand of grape juice that's is 25% grape juice is mixed with another brand that is 75% grape juice. The result is 7 gallons of
garri49 [273]

Answer:

5.6 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take x gallons of 25% grape juice then it will contain \frac{x}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

Again, if we take y gallons of 75% grape juice then it will contain \frac{3y}{4} gallons of pure grape juice.

If we mix them then the total volume will become x + y = 7 gallons  ...... (1)

Again the mixture will become 35% juice.

So, \frac{\frac{x}{4} +\frac{3y}{4} }{x+y} =\frac{35}{100}

⇒ 0.25x + 0.75y = 0.35x + 0.35y

⇒0.1x = 0.4y

⇒x = 4y........ (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 5y = 7, ⇒ y = 1.4 gallons

Hence, x = 4y = 5.6 gallons

Therefore, the 25% grape juice was mixed by 5.6 gallons. (Answer)

The table displays the frequency of scores for a calculus class on an exam. The mean of the exam scores is 3.5. Score 1 2 3 4 5
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

f=11

Mode=4

Median=4

Explanation:

We are given that

a.Mean of the exam score,\bar x=3.5

Score(x)   frequency   C.F

1                  1                 1

2                  3                4

3                  f                 15(4+f=4+11)

4                  13               28

5                   4               32

\sum f_i=1+3+f+13+4=21+f

\sum f_ix_i=1(1)+2(3)+3(f)+4(13)+5(4)=1+6+3f+52+20=79+3f

(\bar x)=\frac{\sum f_ix_i}{\sum f_i}

Using the formula

3.5=\frac{79+3f}{21+f}

73.5+3.5f=79+3f

3.5f-3f=79-73.5

0.5f=5.5

f=\frac{5.5}{0.5}=11

b.Mode:The number which is repeat most times .

4 repeat most times

Hence, mode of all exam scores=4

N=32

N is even

Median=\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}

Median=\frac{16th+17th}{2}=\frac{4+4}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4
