Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.
40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7
_____
Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.
__
If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...
56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16
40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8
16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD
Now, your fraction is ...
(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7
Answer:
( 2,1) is the center of dilation and -2 is the scale factor
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
A' = k( x-a) +a, k( y-b)+b where ( a,b) is the center of dilation and k is the scale factor
(0,0) becomes (6,3)
( 6,3) = k( 0-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
6 = -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
We also have
(4,0) becomes (-2,3)
( -2,3) = k( 4-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
-2 =4k -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
Using these two equations
6 = -ka+a
-2 =4k -ka+a
Subtracting the top from the bottom
-2 =4k -ka+a
-6 = ka -a
-------------------
-8 = 4k
Divide by 4
-8/4 = 4k/4
-2 = k
Now solving for a
6 = -ka +a
6 = - (-2)a +a
6 = 2a+a
6 = 3a
Divide by 3
6/3 =3a/3
2=a
Now finding b
3 = -kb+b
3 = -(-2)b+b
3 = 2b+b
3 = 3b
b=1
Answer:
465
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are looking for the the number of combinations to have 2 different flavors in the ice cream, we can use the formula for combination.
Our variables are:
n = 31
k = 2
The number of possible combinations of having 2 different flavors out of 31 different flavors is 465.
