Answer:

The greatest integer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Odd positive integers are positively directed numbers that can not be divided into to equal values without a remainder. Examples are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc.

Given the following positive odd integers:

i. 9 and 3

9^{2} - 3^{2} = 81 - 9

         = 72

ii. 3 and 1,

3^{2} - 1^{2} = 9 - 1

         = 8

iii. 7 and 5

7^{2} - 5^{2} = 49 - 25

         = 24

iv. 21 and 13

21^{2} - 13^{2} = 441 - 169

             = 272

Therefore, it can be observed that the greatest integer that always divides the difference is 8.

Simplify the following fraction (9/16/1/4)-1/5
german

Answer: \frac{41}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to make the division of the fractions \frac{9}{16} and

\frac{1}{4}. To do this, you can flip the fraction \frac{1}{4} over and multiply the numerators and the denominators of the fractions. Then:

(\frac{\frac{9}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}})-\frac{1}{5}=(\frac{9}{16}*4)-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{36}{16}-\frac{1}{5}

Reduce the fraction \frac{36}{16}:

 =\frac{9}{4}-\frac{1}{5}

Now you can make the subtraction:  in this case the Least Common Denominator (LCD) will be the multiplication of the denominators.   Divide each denominator by the LCD and multiply this quotient by the corresponding numerator and then subtract the products. Therefore you get:

=\frac{45-4}{20}=\frac{41}{20}
