How can you use the GCF of the numerator and the denominator to write a fraction in simplest form?

1 answer:

7 0

Take an example

14 / 20

the GCF of 14 and 20 = 2 ( 20 = 2^2 * 5 and 14 = 2*7 so 2 is the GCF)

so we can divide top and bottom of the fraction by 2 to give 7/10 = simplest form

Use the Pythagorean theorem. We have legs with lengths of 15 and 20 miles, now let's solve for the hypotenuse.

$a=15$
$b=20$
$c=?$

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
$15^2+20^2=c^2$
$c^2=400+225=625$
$c=25$

Your answer is 25 miles. Hope this helps! :)

Are the following functions linear or nonlinear?

exis [7]

Answer:

The chart is linear, the graph is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the graph is curved and not straight, it is non-linear. You can also tell that this is non-linear because the rate of change, or slope, is inconsistent. The chart is linear because it has a consistent slope. I hope this helps, have a nice day. :-)
