Explain how multiplying fractions is similar to multiplying whole numbers and how it is different

1 answer:

8 0

You just multiply the top and bottom numbers like it was two normal multiplication problems. Ex. 3/4x1/4=3/16 (3x1,4x4) But its different because you have to put them together to make a fraction (3/16).

The midpoint of CD is M=(1, 2). One endpoint is C = (6, -2).

Zina [86]

Answer: Endpoint = (-4,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any endpoint use the formula $\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} = Xmp$ $\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} =Ymp$

$\frac{6+x_2}{2} = 1$ $\frac{-2+y_2}{2} =2$

multiply each by 2 to simplify

$\frac{6+x_2}{2*2} = 1*2 = {6+x_2}= 2$ $\frac{-2+y_2}{2*2} =2*2 = -2+y_2=4$ take the equations and simplify

6+ $x_{2}$ = 2 -2+ $y_{2}$ = 4 =

-6 -6 +2 +2

$x_{2}$ = -4 $y_{2}$ = 6

To check use the Midpoint formula

$\frac{-4+6}{2} , \frac{6-2}{2} = \frac{2}{2} , \frac{4}{2} = (1,2)$

Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s a

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When Riko left his house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path.

Average speed of Riko = 0.35 miles per minute

Average speed of Yuto = 0.25 miles per minute

First we will calculate the time in which Riko will catch Yuto on the track.

Relative velocity of Riko as compared to Yuto will be = velocity of Riko - velocity of Yuto

= 0.35 - 0.25

= 0.10 miles per minute

Now we this relative velocity tells that Riko is moving and Yuto is in static position.

By the formula,

Average speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

0.10 = $\frac{5.25}{t}$

t = $\frac{5.25}{0.1}$

t = 52.5 minutes

Now we know that Rico will catch Yuto in 52.5 minutes. Before this time he will be behind Yuto.

So duration of time in which Rico is behind Yuto will be 0 ≤ t ≤ 52.5

Here time can not be less than zero because time can not be with negative notation. It will always start from 0.

Dont even know where to start

zalisa [80]

Answer:

$\displaystyle M = ( 3,1 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the endpoint i.e P and Q of a line segment

we want to figure out the Midpoint of the Line segment

in order to do so we can use Midpoint formula given by

$\displaystyle M = \bigg( \frac{ x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{ y_{1} + y_{2}}{2} \bigg)$

so let

$x_1=-2\\x_2=8\\y_1=-2\\y_2=4$

substitute

$\displaystyle M = \bigg( \frac{ - 2 + 8}{2} , \frac{ - 2 + 4}{2} \bigg)$

simplify addition:

$\displaystyle M = \bigg( \frac{ 6}{2} , \frac{ 2}{2} \bigg)$

simplify division:

$\displaystyle M = ( 3,1 )$

hence,

the Midpoint of the line segment is (3,1)
