Monday Find the quotient \( 5 \div \frac{7}{8}= \) Find the difference. \( 40.574-8.09 \) \( \begin{array}{c}\text { Write the ratio in } \\ \text { simplest form. } \\ 12: 3\end{array} \)

To solve \( 5 \div \frac{7}{8} \), you can multiply 5 by the reciprocal of \( \frac{7}{8} \), which is \( \frac{8}{7} \). So, \( 5 \times \frac{8}{7} = \frac{40}{7} \) or approximately 5.71. For the difference \( 40.574 - 8.09 \), align the decimal points and subtract to get: \( 40.574 - 8.090 = 32.484 \). To simplify the ratio \( 12:3 \), divide both parts by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. This leaves you with \( 4:1 \) in simplest form.
