Answer:
In example when talking about some supply, half of it was sold or three fifths of what was there is gone. Fractions are a natural way of talking about sub unit quantities or just rationing supplies.
Answer:
x = √2, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the sides of an isosceles right triangle are equal in length, so ...
x = √2 . . . . same as the given side
You also know that the hypotenuse is √2 times as long as one side, so ...
y = √2·√2
y = 2
Step (1) is incorrect. To divide by a number means to multiply by the reciprocal. In step (1) they did not convert the polynomial into its reciprocal.
