Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator cannot be further divide.
To simplify a fraction: divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest number that will divide both numbers exactly.
This, process is continued till we cannot find a common number to divide both numerator and the denominator.
In order to do so we can divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number as many times we want until we reach the simplest form of the fraction.
There is no such rule that we can only divide numerator and denominator one time when finding the simplest form.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Two point particles are attached to each other via a light in-extensible string that passes over a ring hanging from the ceiling

arlik [135]

a. The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

b. The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

To solve the problem, we need to know what tension is.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

This is the opposing force in a stretched material.

<h3>a. Tension in the string</h3>

The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

Since the string supports the weight of the object, the tension in the string equals the weight of the particle.

Let

T = tension in sring and
W = weight of particle = mg where
m = mass of particle and
g = acceleration due to gravity

So, T = W

T = mg

So, the expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

<h3>b. Tension in chain</h3>

The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

<h3 />

Since the chain supports both strings, the tension in the chain equals the tension in both strings.

Let

T' = tension in chain and
T = tension in each string

So, T' = T + T

T' = 2T

T' = 2W

T' = 2mg

So, the expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

Suzanne bought 6 paint sets. Each set contains the same number of brushes. She has 18 brushes. Write and solve an equation to de

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The number of paint sets, Suzanne bought= 6

As each set contains the same number of brushes.

Let x be the number of brushes each set contains.

So, the total number of brushes in 6 sets = 6x.

It is given that the total number of brushes she has is 18, which is equals to 6x.

So, the required equation is

$6x=18$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac {18}{6}$

$\Rightarrow x=3.$

Hence, the number of paint brushes each set contains is 3.
