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:
a = 33 degrees, b = 147 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, and to solve for the angle on the other side of 109 degrees is 71 degrees, so to solve for a, have 180 minus 71 and 76. Then the sum of 71 and 76 is angle b since its the result of a subtracting from 180.
