Number of kittens Ryan has = 8

Number of white kittens = 2

Number of not white kittens = 8 -2 = 6

Fraction of number of not white kittens = 6/8

To write the fraction in lowest form find the greatest common factor of numerator and the denominator. Divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor .

Now the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2.

$\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{6\div 2}{8\div 2}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.
