Just divide 252 by 14:)
There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
Yes
factor out the 2z^2 in each term
(2z^2)(z^2-5z+4)
factor some more
z^2-5z+4
find what 2 numbers multiply to get 4 and add to get -5
the numbers are -1 and -4
(z-1)(z-4)
the factored form is
(2z^2)(z-1)(z-4)
