Boys = 576

Girl = 480

GCF of 576 and 480 is 96.

Now , dividing both numbers by GCF.

$\large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{ \cancel{480} \: ^{5} }{ \cancel{576} \: ^{6} } \\$

$\large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{5}{6} \\$

<h3>⇛Hence , the ratio will be 5 : 6</h3>

Jamie has a half-sheet cake. If she has six friends, how much will each one get?

Answer:

<h2>The answer is </h2><h2>B. 1/12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

From the problem state, we can actually conclude that Jamie wants to share the half sheet of cake among her 6 friends

step two:

we can express this problem mathematically as

$=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{6} }$

we can inverse the denominator and use a multiplication sign instead

$\\\\= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{6}$

multiplying both denominators we have

$\\\\= \frac{1}{12}$

The answer is B 1/12

Please help 50 points!<br> Simplify the expressed

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x^{2} -x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2x^{2}-32 }{x^{2} -8x+16}$ rewrite as multiplication

$\frac{x^{2} +3x-4x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2(x^{2}-16) }{x^{2} -8x+16}$ look to factor

$\frac{x(x+3)-4(x+3)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}$ , difference of 2 squares and perfect square

$\frac{(x+3)(x-4)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}$ , finish factoring and simplify

2(x+3)

Answer:

x=14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Group like terms

2x+8x+7=35

Add similar elements: 2x+8x=10x

10x+7=35

Subtract 7 from both sides:

10x+7−7=35−7

Simplify

10x=28

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 =28/10

Simplify:

x=14/5
