Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.
40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7
_____
Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.
__
If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...
56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16
40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8
16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD
Now, your fraction is ...
(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7
Answer:
24.23
Step-by-step explanation:
The tan(x) would equal to the opposite side over the adjacent one
So 9/20. To get the degree we need to get the arctan of it, so arctan(9/20) = 24.23
But what is the expression, you have to tell me so I can do it.
Answer:
1/ 8 pounds of dog food
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
7/8 pounds of dog food shared equally into 7 containers ;
Number of dog food in each container will be :
Total dog food / Number of containers
(7/8) ÷ 7
(7 /8) * 1/ 7
7 / 56
= 1/8 pounds of dog food
