To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

1 answer:

3 0

This is true.

Example:

= 8/9 ÷ 7/3
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 7/3

= 8/9 * 3/7

= (8*3)/(9*7)
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= 24/63
simplify

= 8/21

ANSWER: This is (A) true

Hope this helps! :)

caleb wants to rent a kayak. Kayak rental cost 14.50 for a half hour.If caleb rents a kayak for one hour and forty-five minutes.

50.75
you multiply 14.50 times 3.5
the reason why it is 3.5 is because there are two half hours in one hour, and another half hour plus 15 minutes ( which is half of a half hour)
i hope this is clear!!

Find the surface area of the composite figure

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$=280$ $in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Let's find the surface area of the pink rectangular prism first.

$2*10=20+20=40$

$4*10=40+40=80$

$4*2=8+8=16$

$40+80+16=136$

The surface area for the pink rectangular prism is $136$ $in^2$ .

-------------------->>>>>

Now, let's find the surface area of the green rectangular prism.

$4*7=28+28=56$

$4*4=16+16=32$

$56+56+32=144$

The surface area for the green rectangular prism is 144 $in^2$ .

-------------------->>>>>

Now let's add the surface area of both rectangular prisms to find the surface area of the composite figure.

$136+144=$

$=280$ $in^2$

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

Hope this is helpful.

Which description best fits the distribution of the data shown in the histogram?

Sedaia [141]

Option B: Approximately bell-shaped

Explanation:

Option A: Skewed

A histogram is said to be skewed if most of the larger values falls either on the left or right side.

Clearly, the given histogram is not skewed.

Thus, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: Approximately bell-shaped

A graph is said to be bell shaped if a vertical line is drawn at the center which will form a mirror image of the left half of the graph with the right half.

Clearly, the given histogram is approximately bell-shaped.

Thus, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: Uniform

A graph is said to be uniform if its data is equally spread across the range.

Clearly, the given histogram is not Uniform.

Thus, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: Skewed left

A graph is said to be skewed left if the smaller values fall on the left side of the graph.

Clearly, the given histogram is not skewed left.

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
