Answer:

Well to find simplest terms you have to find the GCF. (greatest common factor) for the numerator and the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets say you have 4/8 they both can be divided by 2. So that is what you do. Divide by two on the numerator and the denominator to get 1/2.

Also, if you have 3/5 you can't simplify it anymore because it is already in the lowest terms.

I hope that helped. If you have any questions just ask.

The rectangles shown below are similar figures. Use the properties of similar figures to solve for the value of s.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

s = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the rectangles are similar

2 × __ = 16

s × __ = 24

so,

16÷2 = 8

2 × 8 =16

s × 8 =24

then,

24 ÷ 8 = s

3 = s

2 × 8 = 16

3 × 8 =24

hoped i helped :)

On Sunday a library checked out 52books .if 24 of the books were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books checked out = 52

Number of fiction books checked out = 24

So, number of non fiction books = Total books - number of fiction books

Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24 = 28 books

Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24

Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get

The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6
