OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jackthegreatest

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

what's the GCF

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

alright here i am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 right @hysusonic

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

24:32 6:8 3:4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its unsimplified if you do 32: 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 3:4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no actually 4:3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have to simplify it as much as possible by using division

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

no 3:4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah divide it by 8 which is the GCF of 32 and 24

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ratio of 2 story houses to one story houses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah actually @jackthegreatest i didn't see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey you have to guide them through it

pielover123 you need someone to guide you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

yah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first add up all of the cards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then put it in a ratio with 8 and find the GCF of the two numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 32/8 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the unsimplified answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the GCF of 32 and 8?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

any medals yet?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

im trying to build up my score

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you would divide 32 and 8 by the GCF and you have your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can some one give him a medal xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 8:32

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

oh man i didnt get a medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the GCF of 8 and 32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):
