Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>
Answer:
19 > DB > 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle Δ ABC, AC = 7, and BC = 18.
Therefore, the length of the third side of the triangle Δ ABC i.e. length of AB can have a maximum value of < (7 + 18) i.e. 25 and the minimum value of the length AB will be > (18 - 7) i.e. 11
Hence, the length of AB will be given by 25 > AB > 11.
Now, AB = AD + DB = 6 + DB {Since length of AD is given to be 6}
Therefore, 25 > 6 + DB > 11
⇒ 19 > DB > 5 (Answer)
Answer: Sally has 16 friends
Step-by-step explanation:
she has 40 balls
subtract by how many she gave away
40-8=32
she gave 2 to each friend
divide the balls left by 2
32/2=16

Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 2 square root of 13 ⇒ c
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of the area of the right triangle is A =
× leg1 × leg2, where
leg1 and leg2 are the sides of the right angle
∵ The area of a right triangle is 12 in²
∵ The ratio of the length of its legs is 2: 3
→ Let leg1 = 2x and leg2 = 3x
∵ leg1 = 2x and leg2 = 3x
→ Substitute them in the rule of the area above
∴ 12 =
× 2x × 3x
∵ 2x × 3x = 6x²
∴ 12 =
× 6x²
∴ 12 = 3x²
→ Divide both sides by 3 to find x²
∴ 4 = x²
→ Take √ for both sides
∴ x = 2
→ Substitute x in the expressions of leg1 and leg2 to find them
∴ leg1 = 2(2) = 4 inches
∴ leg2 = 3(2) = 6 inches
∵ hypotenuse =
∴ hypotenuse = 
∵ The simplest form of
= 2
∴ The length of the hypotenuse = 2
inches
-2(-2)+3=7
-2(0)+3=3
