Answer:

1449/2691

Step-by-step explanation:

We must start from the fraction that is 7/13. Now, we know that it was simplified, with trial and error we can reach the result.

First, let's multiply both by 200:

7 * 200 = 1400

13 * 200 = 2600

1400 + 2600 = 4000

It means that we are missing 140, to reach the objective, that is, we are close, let's try 205 now:

7 * 205 = 1435

13 * 205 = 2665

1435 + 2665 = 4100

We get even closer, only 40 missing, let's try 207 below:

7 * 205 = 1449

13 * 205 = 2691

1449 + 2691 = 4140

We managed to get to the corresponding numbers, therefore the original fraction was 1449/2691

Can 171 19/32 be simplified
LenaWriter [7]

171 19/32=(171×32+19)/32=(odd number)/32.

But 32=2⁵

Thus, this ratio cannot be simplified, because the numerator is an odd number.

And the denominator is a power of 2.

A cat and a dog have a race. The cat’s strides are 30% shorter than the dog’s but it makes 30% more strides than the dog. Which
exis [7]
The cat travels 0.7 times as far as the dog on each stride, but it takes 1.3 times as many strides in a given time interval. Hence the cat's distance relative to the dog's is 0.7*1.3 = 0.91. This is less distance than the 1 unit the dog covers in the same time.

The dog will win the race.
