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
The answer is 13/25 13 is odd so it can't be evenly divided by anything so it is in its simplest form
9y^3+8y=4y+18y^2
9y^3-18y^2+4y=0
*Divide the whole thing by y
9y^2-18y+4=0
*use quadratic formula to solve
Answer:
The solution is (3/8, -7/8).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = −5x + 1
y = 3x − 2
Since the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :
−5x + 1 = 3x - 2
-5x - 3x = -2 - 1
-8x = -3
x = 3/8.
So y = 3x - 2
= 3(3/8) - 2
= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
Answer:
11 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
you can divide the shape into 2 rectangles and then you solve for the 2 rectangles and then you add them up.
