Answer:

4 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn both 8 1/3 and 3 1/2 into improper fractions (just to make it less complicated).

8 1/3 = 25/3

3 1/2 = 7/2

Then, try and make the denominators the same by finding the LCD (least common denominator).

The least common denominator of 3 and 2 is 6. Multiply both the denominators (3 and 2) to get 6, multiply the numerator with it as well (I can't explain this part properly, but the fractions will somehow explain).

$\frac{25*2}{3*2}$ = $\frac{50}{6}$

$\frac{7*3}{2*3}$ = $\frac{21}{6}$

So, then subtract (50/6 - 21/6).

50/6 - 21/6

= 29/6 = 4 5/6

So, 8 1/3 - 3 1/2 is 4 5/6.

In a year group there 100 boys and 140 girls. Write as a ratio the number of boy to the number of girls. Give the answer in the

expeople1 [14]

no. of boys : no.of girls

100 : 140

to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor

Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20

the simplest ratio will be

100/20 : 140/20

5:7

5:7 is the simplest ratio

Write the ratio of the area of a circle with radius r to the circumference of the same circle

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\frac{r}{2\pi r} =\frac{1}{2\pi }$

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and can be written in several forms including fractions. It is most commonly written in fraction form or a:b.

To write a ratio, we count the number of each quantity we are comparing or use the variable for that quantity. We write radius:circumference. Recall, the circumference of a circle can be found using $\pi d$ or $2\pi r$ .
