What's 3/4 times 7/9 in simplest form

2 answers:

7 0

3/4 times 7/9:

First, we must use the rule for multiplying fraction. The rule is: a/b times c/d = ac/ bd. Let's substitute our problem into that formation.
$\frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 9}$

Second, we can now simplify. (3 times 7 = 21) and (4 times 9 = 36).
$\frac{21}{36}$

Third, since our fraction is not in the simplest form, we can simplify it down by listing the factors of both the numerator and denominator and then finding the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7, 21
Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The GCF is 3, since only 1 and 3 were the common factors and since 3 is the greatest common factor.

Fourth, now we can divide our numerator (21) and denominator (36) by our recently found GCF which was 3.

$21 \div 3 = 7 \\ 36 \div 3 = 12$

Our new fraction in its simplest form is 7/12.

Answer in fraction form: $\fbox {7/12}$
Answer in decimal form: $\fbox {0.5833}$

Multiply 3 · 7 and 4 · 9
3/4 · 7/9 = 21/36
Divide top and bottom by 3
7/12 would be your answer.

I can't exactly SHOW you where to put the numbers, but I can teach you the process of how you'd do it.

First off, label your number line from 0-15, as it is the simplest. (You'd be counting by 1 per each line). Then, follow this process:

1) Look at the first digit of your value. Place your number according to your first digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0 line and 3.521 at the 3 line)

2) Look at the second digit of your value. Imagine that between the two main lines (0-1 and 3-4) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your second digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.3 line and 3.521 at the 3.5 line).

3) Look at the third digit of your value. Imagine that between the two smaller lines (0.3-0.4 and 3.5-3.6) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your third digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.36 line and 3.521 at the 3.52 line).

4) Look at the fourth digit of your value. Imagine that between the two even smaller lines (0.36-0.37 and 3.52-3.53) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your fourth digit. (So you'd place 0.365 at the 0.365 line and 3.521 at the 3.521 line)

The graph shows two lines, A and B. A graph is shown with x- and y-axes labeled from 0 to 6 at increments of 1. A straight line

maxonik [38]

there will be one solution because the lines intersect at exactly one set of points.

(0,6)(6,3)
slope(m) = (3-6) / (6-0) = -3/6 = -1/2

y = mx + b
6 = -1/2(0) + b
6 = b
y = -1/2x + 6

(0,0)(6,6)
slope(m) = (6-0) / (6-0) = 6/6 = 1

y = mx + b
6 = 1(6) + b
6 = 6 + b
6 - 6 = b
0 = b

y = x + 0

x = -1/2x + 6
1/2x + x = 6
1/2x + 2/2x = 6
3/2x = 6
x = 6/(3/2)
x = 6 * 2/3
x = 12/3 = 4

solution is : (4,4)

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, find the length of a leg of a right triangle if the other leg is 8 feet long and the hypotenuse i

iren [92.7K]

The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides. To solve for one of the shorter sides we need to rearrange:

$b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}$

We can then substitute known values, and solve:
 $b=\sqrt{10^{2}-8^{2}}$
$b=\sqrt{100-64}$
$b=\sqrt{36}$
$b=6 feet$
