How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
- List the factors of A
- List the factors of B
- Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
- Divide A and B each by the GCF
- Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
The volume of a sphere can be calculated as
Where r is the radius of the sphere
We want to calculate half of the volume, then we must divide that volume by 2
Now we must find the radius of our sphere, the segment AB is the diameter of the sphere, and the radius is half od the diameter, then
Let's put it into our equation
The problem says to use
Then

Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount repaid is ...
A = P(1 +rt)
Filling in the given values, we can find r.
(18·28) = 450(1 +r(18/12)) . . . . . t is in years
504 = 450 + 675t
54/675 = 0.08 = 8%
The simple interest rate on the loan is 8%.
