What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form

2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5

Answer: It's correct because it is the only one with an angle more than 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

D is a right angle, A is an acute angle, as well as B. So not only is C the only one with an obtuse angle and it also has the biggest angle out of the other two angles on the triangle, you can use process of elimination to figure it out as well. Hope this helps, have a good day! :-)

What is the point slope form of the line with slope 2/5 that passes through the point (−4, −7) ?
fredd [130]

y + 7 = \frac{2}{5} (x + 4)

the equation of a line in ' point- slope form ' is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = \frac{2}{5} and (a , b ) =( - 4, - 7)

y + 7 = \frac{2}{5} (x + 4) → equation in point- slope form
