Answer:

  2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

"r" is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two fractions. It can be found using Euclid's algorithm in the usual way.

  (8/15) - (18/35) = 56/105 - 54/105 = 2/105 . . . . . this is (8/15) mod (18/35)

We can see that the next step, division of 54/105 by 2/105, will produce a remainder of 0, so the GCD is 2/105.

The greatest rational number r is 2/105.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The ratios are (8/15)/(2/105) = 28; (18/35)/(2/105) = 27. These whole numbers are relatively prime, so there is no larger r than the one we found.

The fuel cost per hour for running a ship is approximately one half the cube of the speed (measured in knots) plus additional fi
andrezito [222]

Answer:

6 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed be v knots

then time taken to cover 500 M = 500 / v hrs

fuel consumption /hr = 216 + 0.5v^3

let F be the fuel consumption for trip

= [500/v][216 + 0.5v^3]

= 500[216/v + 0.5v^2]

dF/dv = 500[ - 216/v^2 + v]

d^2F/d^2v = 500[432/v^3 + 1] , i.e. +ve

so setting dF/dv will give a minima

500[ -216/v^2 + v] = 0

or v = 216/v^2

or v^3 = 216

solving, we get v = [216]^(1/3) = 6 knots

kate would like to find the height of her favorite rollercoaster at the amusement park. She noticed that she casts a 2 foot shad
alex41 [277]

Set up a proportion with Katie’s height / Katie’s shadow = roller coasters height / its shadow. So it is 5 feet / 2 feet = x feet / 60 feet. To solve cross multiply so it becomes 2x = 300 and x = 150 feet

A cube with side length 4p is stacked on another cube with side length 2q^2. What is the total volume of the cubes in factored f
inysia [295]
Volume of the cube with side 4p = 4p x 4p x 4p = 64p³

Volume of the cube with side 2q² =  2q² x  2q² x  2q² = 8q⁶

Total Volume = 64p³ +  8q⁶

Total Volume = (4p)³ + (2q²)³

Total Volume = (4p + 2q²)( ( 4p)² - (4p)(2q²) + (2q²)²)

Total Volume = (4p + 2q²)( 16p² - 8pq² + 4q⁴)

 
Answer:  (4p + 2q²)( 16p² - 8pq² + 4q⁴)
