Answer:
B. No. The product of two fractions is the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators.
Step-by-step explanation:
For A: A is clearly false because you can multiply any fraction and it doesnt matter what the denominator is.
For B: The first part is correct, which is that to multiply two fractions, they dont have to have like/common denominators, the explanation part is also correct. When we multiply we multiply the numerator to the numerator and the denominator to the denominator.
For C: C is false because the first part says yes and we know that you can multiply any 2 fractions regardless of denominators.
For D: For D the first part is correct however, the explanation section is false you dont multiply the numerator to the denominator.
For E: You don't have to find the equivalent fraction to multiply because you can do that afterward.
I hope this helps, have a blessed day! :D
Probably the subsitution method
y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y
2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4
(x,y)
(8,4)
Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color
and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the
number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1
color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles,
or 8 colors and 1 style.
