Reciprocals are like flipping the number over
6/5 flipped would become 5/6
5/6 cannot be simplified therefore the final answer is
d. 5/6

The reciprocal of a fraction is simply the reverse position of the original fraction, its numerator and denominator. It is represented by the formula of 1/number (fraction). To get the reciprocal of the number, divide one by the fractional number. You are given the number 6/5. So you have a numerator of 6 and a denominator of five. Simply swap them and you get the new numerator as 5 and the new denominator as 6. Or you can just divide 1/(6/5) then you will get 5/6. The answer is letter D.

Simplify 10x - (5x-x)

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$\boxed{6x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$10x - (5x-x)$

Distribute the Negative Sign:

$= 10x + -1 (5x - x)$

$= 10x + -1 ( 5x) + -1 (-x)$

$= 10x + -5x + x$

Combine Like Terms:

$= 10x + -5x + x$

$= (10x + -5x + x)$

$= 6x$

ExtremeBDS [4]

This one should have come before the other one. We apply the cone formula

$V = \frac 1 3 \pi r^2 h$

$V = \frac 1 3 \pi(15.5)^2 (18.6) \approx 4679.6 \textrm{ cubic meters}$

Simplify using only POSITIVE exponents:

pickupchik [31]

So here are a few rules with exponents that you should know:

Multiplying exponents of the same base: $x^m*x^n=x^{m+n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $x^m\div x^n=x^{m-n}$
Powering a power to a power: $(x^m)^n=x^{m*n}$
Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$
