In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
The tablecloth has 42" diameter.
Add 8" at each end of the diameter to get 42" + 8" + 8" = 58".
The tablecloth has 58" diameter.
The radius is half the diameter.
Radius = diameter/2 = 58"/2 = 29".
Answer: The radius of the tablecloth is 29".
Answer:
2050
Step-by-step explanation:
12.3 or 12 3/10
4.5 + 7.8 = 12.3
or
4 10/20 + 7 16/20 = 11 26/20
11 26/20 can be simplified to 12 6/20 and further simplified to 12 3/10
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use the equations for the pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 =c^2. plug in the numbers you know and then you figure out what yhe missing value is.
