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:
3:1 or 3
Step-by-step explanation:
the left triangle is scaling up to the right triangle. 5/15 is 1/3
7/21 is 1/3
4/14 is 1/3
since it is scaling UP, the scale factor is 3:1
The opposite is just 1. Positive 1.
Answer:
x = 0 and x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that you mean:
4 8
---- + --------- = 4
x x + 2
Here the LCD is x(x + 2).
Multiplying all 3 terms by x(x + 2), we get:
4(x + 2) + 8x = 4(x)(x + 2), or
4x + 8 + 8x = 4x^2 + 8x
Cancelling the 8x terms, we have:
12x = 4x^2, or 3x = x^2, or x^2 - 3x = 0.
Factoring, we get x(x - 3) = 0, which results in x = 0 and x = 3.
