To simply this, you just divide the numerator and denominator by its GCF (Greatest common factor)
Factors of 18 : 1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 30 : 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
As you can see, the great common factors of 18 and 30 is 6.
So divide 18 by 6 and 30 by 6, and you get 3 and 5
Therefore, the simplest form is 3/5

Answer:
(24, 224 ) i.e. 24 basketball and 224 footballs
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Basketball :</em>
uses 4 ounces of foam
20 minutes of labor
profit = $2.50
<em>Football :</em>
uses 3 ounces of foam
30 minutes of labor
profit = $2
Manufacturer has :
768 ounces of foam , 120 labor hours per week,
<u>using the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule so as to maximize profits </u>
lets assume
x = number of basketball
y = number of footballs
maximize = 2.5 x + 2y from a linear programming problem
attached below is the detailed solution
Answer:
4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 4 foot wide painting should be centered on a 12 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet (X) should be on each side of the painting, the following equation must be solved:
(Total wide of the wall - wide of the painting) / 2 = X
(12 - 4) / 2 = X
8/2 = X
4 = X
Therefore, 4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
(7 1/2) / (3/4) =
(15/2) / (3/4) =
15/2 * 4/3 =
30/3 =
10 <== there will be 10 three-fourth ft pieces
