What is the ratio 7 to 12 as a fraction in simplest form?

If both the numerator (top part) and the denominator (bottom part) of a fraction have a common factor, the fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by that factor. For example, 6/12 can be reduced to 1/2 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 6. Sometimes, this process can be repeated several times. However, there is no number (other than 1) that can divide into both 7 and 12 to give a whole number, so 7/12 is in its simplest form.

How does an inclinometer work?

This device works to measure the angles of elevation, slope or depression of an object. This measurement makes these determinations with respect to gravity. They measure positive slopes, or includes, when the person using the instrument looks upward. To measure a negative slope, or a decline, the person using the instrument looks downward. Percent, topo and degrees are the three different units of measurement that people use with this instrument.

What is the formula for calculating true position?

There are also web-based apps in addition to apps for iPhone, iPad and Android that can calculate true position without using the formula. Information such as position deviation on the Y-axis and X-axis will still need to be known in order to arrive at the correct conclusion.

What is the importance of statistics in business?

Statistical analysis allows businesses to deal with the uncertainties of the business. It allows managers to make sound judgments, knowing their decisions are based on data and not on assumptions. Statistics helps businesses to plan better and make predictions about the road ahead. Marketing is an important part of any business and statistics helps to market products and services effectively. Statistics also allow a business to keep an eye on the competition.

What is the prime factorization of 700?

The prime factors of a given number are all prime numbers that, when multiplied together, yield that number. One way to find the prime factors of 700 is to start with 7 x 100. Seven is a prime number. The number 100 is equal to 10 x 10. Ten is not a prime number, but it is the multiple of two prime numbers, two and five. The prime numbers, which are two, two, five, five and seven, when multiplied together yield 700.

What are the side lengths of an isosceles triangle?

When the unequal angle of an isosceles triangle is 90 degrees, it is referred to as a right isosceles triangle. Each equal angle in a right isosceles triangle is equal to 45 degrees. In an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular distance from the top vertex point to its base is called the altitude. There are different formulas for finding the legs, altitude and base. For example, the formula for finding the equal legs of this triangle is given as L = square root [A^2 + (B/2)^2], where L represents leg, A is altitude, and B stands for the base.

What is the prime factorization of 38?

To determine the prime factorization of 38, find two numbers greater than one that divide evenly into 38. Since 38 is an even number, two is an obvious choice, and 2 multiplied by 19 is equal to 38. Two is a prime number, divisible only by one and two. Nineteen is also a prime number, since it is evenly divisible only by one and 19.

How do you calculate the surface area of a hexagonal pyramid?

The surface area is calculated by adding the base area to the total area of all the triangular faces of the pyramid. If the slant height is not provided, it can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem. Other common pyramid types include a square pyramid (four faces), triangular pyramid (three faces) and pentagonal pyramid (five faces).

What is two thirds as a decimal?

When divided as such, some fractions come out even and are called "terminating decimals." There are no repeating figures in terminating decimals. Other numbers, such as 2/3, are called "recurring decimals." When dividing 2/3, the division does not work out as an even number, so the six is repeated to infinity.

What is the difference between mean, median and mode?

The mean is the typical average that is commonly used in everyday language. It is computed by adding up all the integers in a set, then dividing the sum by the total number of integers in the set. For instance, if the set was made up of {1,4,7}, The average is 4 or (1+4+7)/3.\nThe median is determined by listing the integers in numerical order, and then finding the middle integer. If the set of integers is even, the two middle integers are summed together and divided by two. For example, the set of {1,5,7,2,4} would be rewritten as {1,2,4,5,7}. The middle integer is 4, so in turn the median i..
