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.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

9,240 ways possible in which this can be accomplished if there are 22 members on the board of directors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of available members in the board = 22

The number of posts chosen are a president, a secretary, and a treasurer.

For the Post of President:

The number of available options to choose a president = 22 options

For the Post of Secretary:

As we can not repeat the members because one person CANNOT hold two positions simultaneously.

The number of available options to choose a secretary = 21 options

For the Post of Treasurer:

As we can not repeat the members because two person CANNOT hold three positions simultaneously.

The number of available options to choose a treasure = 20 options

Now, the possible ways can this whole election be accomplished is the product of all possible options

= 22 option x 21 option x 20 option

= 9,240 ways

Hence, there are 9,240 ways possible in which this can be accomplished if there are 22 members on the board of directors.

Buddy ran the same distance each day for 5 days.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

One expression you can do is the total amount of distance Buddy runs in a 5 day period, as a function of the amount of miles he runs in a day.

d(x) = y = 5x

d(x) being total amount of miles buddy runs in 5 days. x being the amount of miles he runs in a day.

Now if he ran 10 miles a day, just substitute 10 for x.

d(10) = y = 5(10) = 50
