Compare simplifying before multiplying fractions with simplifying after multiplying the fractions

Mathematics

<span>We will start using a new way to indicate simplifying fractions. When a numerator or 
a denominator gets simplified, we will cross it out with a slash and write the new 
numerator or denominator next to it (either above it or below it).</span><span>The number you divide by (the 4) does not get indicated in any way! You only 
think about it in your mind: “I divide 12 by 4, and get 3. I divide 20 by 4, and get 5.”</span><span>You may not see any advantage over the “old” method yet, but this shortcut will 
come in handy soon.</span> <span />

Answer:

We can compare this using example:

Suppose the two fractions are \frac{20}{25} and \frac{12}{36}

<u>When we simplify before multiplying:</u>

\frac{20}{25} (dividing both numerator and denominator by 5) in simplified form becomes \frac{4}{5}

Similarly \frac{12}{36} becomes \frac{1}{3}

Now multiplying:

\frac{4}{5} \times\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{15}

<u>When we simplify after multiplying:</u>

\frac{20}{25} \times\frac{12}{36} = \frac{240}{900}

Now simplifying this:

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 10; we get

\frac{24}{90}

Now dividing by 2:

\frac{12}{45}

Now dividing by 3:

\frac{4}{15}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we can see and compare that when we multiply after simplifying, the result is simplified and calculation is easier.

When we do not simplify and multiply at first, the results are bigger numbers and it is difficult to simplify bigger numbers.

n considering the cross YyRr x YyRr, the phenotype ratios of the F2 generation will be _____. 1:3:1 3:1 9:3:3:1 4:1
Marrrta [24]
The cross of YyRr will produce 16 distinct genotypes.

If the two alleles are far enough on the same chromosome, then the Y and R alleles will be distributed independently of one another, so that the genotypic ratio among each allele would be 1:2:1 (YY:Yy:yy, and similarly for the R allele). Then the dihybrid cross will yield a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1 (YYRR:YYRr:YYrr:YyRR:YyRr:Yyrr:yyRR:yyRr:yyrr).

Now, assuming perfect Mendelian inheritance (complete dominance), the phenotypes exhibited by YY and Yy will be considered equivalent, and similarly for RR and Rr, so the phenotypic ratio would be 9:3:3:1 (YR:Yr:yR:yr).
