15/40 in lowest term I need it so bad now

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:
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, 5, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .

Ah hah ! Do you see that ' 5 ' 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 = 3 / 8

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.

Answer 2

Answer: 3/8 is the answer

The sum of two numbers is 264. One number ends with a zero. If this zero is erased, you get the second number. Find these numbers.

Answers

Answer:

240; 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sum of two numbers = 264

One number ends with '0'

Second number = first number without '0'

Let the first number be 'a'

Since the second number is the first number with '0' erased, then,

Second number = (a ÷ 10)

Therefore, the expression becomes :

a + a/10 = 264

Multiply the equation by 10

10a + a = 2640

11a = 2640

a = 2640/11

a = 240

Therefore ;

a = 240 ;

a/10 = 240/10 = 24

The numbers are 240 and 24

2. now do the opposite of what you did before to get x
36 divided by 0.9%= x

36 divided by 0.9%= 40

Jeff has 1/2 pizza left in the fridge . at breakfast he ate 1/3 of it. what fraction of the original pizza dose he have left for lunch?

Answers

Subtract 1/2 - 1/3

Convert into denominators of 6:

3/6 - 2/6 = (3-2)/6 = 1/6

So he will have 1/6 of pizza left for lunch.

(1-1/2)=1/2
(1/2)-(1/3)=1/6
This leaves Jeff with 1/6 of the original pizza.
