Let's compute the two factors separately: as for "the sum of -13/5 and 12/7", we have to rewrite the two fractions so that they have the same denominator. Since the least common multiple of 5 and 7 is 35, we will change both fractions so that they have denominator 35:


\frac{-13}{5} = \frac{-13}{5}\frac{7}{7} = \frac{-91}{35} \qquad \qquad \frac{12}{7} = \frac{12}{7}\frac{5}{5} = \frac{60}{35}


So now we can sum them:


\frac{-13}{5}+\frac{12}{7} = \frac{-91}{35}+\frac{60}{35} = \frac{-91+60}{35} = \frac{-31}{35}


Multiplication is easier, since you just have to multiply numerators and denominators with each others:


\frac{-31}{7} \frac{-1}{2} = \frac{-31 \cdot (-1)}{7\cdot 2} = \frac{31}{14}


Finally, we must divide the two fractions. Dividing by a fraction is the same this as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction, i.e. we have to switch numerator and denominator:


\frac{-31}{35} \div \frac{31}{14} = \frac{-31}{35} \cdot \frac{14}{31} = -\frac{2}{5}

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

y + 5 = (3/2)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y - k = m(x - h).  We get h and k from the given point:  h = 4 and k = -5, and m from the given slope:  3/2.  Then we have:

y + 5 = (3/2)(x - 4)

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all their is an easier way solving this 2l/ + l^2

but how you need it is c because the base is 100 and each face is 40 how 10x8=80 80/2=40

A path 2.5m wide is running outside a square field whose side is 45m. Determine the area of the path.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The area of the path would be 231.25 squared meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the path as 45m (the field's area), then add 2.5m to all of the sides. You'll get 47.5m on all sides. Then you do 47.5² to get 2256.25 squared meters. After that, you'll remove the area of the squared field. To do this, do 45m². By doing this, you'll get 2025 squared meters. Lastly, to finish up the question, do 2256.25 - 2025. This would get you 31.25 squared meters, the answer.

If a ÷ b = 2 and b ÷ c =3/4, what is the value of c ÷ a? Express your answer as a common fraction.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

a/b = 2

so , a = 2b

b/c = 3/4

so , c = 4b/3

c/a = (4b/3) / 2b

which gives 2/3
