Answer:
16/24
Step-by-step explanation:
let’s use the GCF of both which is 3 for 15/27
15/27 divided by 3 is 5/9
for 16/24 the gcf is 8
16/24 / 8 is 2/3
now we have to multiply 2/3 times 3
2/3 times 3 6/3 which is 2
so 16/24 is greater.
The best way to find it is to reduce each ratio you work with to its
lowest terms,and see which ones are equal. To reduce a ratio to its
lowest terms, divide each number by their greatest common factor.
First, the one that you're trying to match: <u>49:35</u> .
The greatest common factor of 49 and 35 is 7 .
Divide each number by 7 . . . <em>7:5</em> . . . <u>that's</u> what you have to match.
<u>7:4</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.
<u>14:25</u>
Again, their greatest common factor is '1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.
<u>21:15</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 3 '.
Divide both numbers by 3 . . . <em>7:5 </em>.
That's it !
Answer:
-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx +b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
we just need to rewrite 3x+2y+18=0 to look like that
We need to get y by itself
3x+18= -2y
we need y to be positive and to have no number in front of it (no coeficcent)
y= -3/2x-9
the slope is therefore -3/2
Okay. so I'm gonna assume you know what factor out means--were gonna take out 5/6. what we need to know is, how does that affect our ending number 2/3? well, we're gonna have 5/6 times some stuff first off, right?
5/6 ( )
so what's in the parenthesis? well, if we distribute in our mind, S would just have to be by itself for it to work out. so we have
5/6 ( s )
but what about 2/3? well, if we're multiplying everything on the inside by 5/6, how can be get it to cancel and leave 2/3 alone? we could divide 2/3 by 5/6, right?
5/6 ( s + (2/3) / (5/6) )
now, when we distribute our 5/6, we'll have just 2/3 at the end. now let's simplify that end term so it looks a little better. if we divide by a fracion, that's the same as multiplying by the flipped version, so let's do that.
2/3 / 5/6 = 2/3 × 6/5 = 2 (6) / 5 (3) = 12/15
we can reduce 12/15 by dividing the top and bottom by three.
= 4/5
so our final answer would be:
5/6 [S + 4/5] you can redistribute to make sure it matches. Anyway, hope that helps!
