Answer:

The quotient in its lowest terms is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's divide 1/4 ÷ 1 1/8, this way:

1/4 ÷ 1 1/8 = 1/4 ÷ 9/8 (Converting 1 1/8 to fraction)

1/4 ÷ 9/8 = 1/4 * 8/9 = 8/36

8/36 = 4/18 (Dividing by 2 the numerator and the denominator)

4/18 = 2/9 (Dividing by 2 the numerator and the denominator)

The quotient in its lowest terms is 2/9

Proof: 1/4 = 0.25 and 1 1/8 = 1.125

0.25 ÷ 1.125 = 0.22222

0.22222 = 2/9

Answer:2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom cannot be any smaller

Firstly start by getting the common factors between 1 and 4 in 1/4 and 11 and 8 in 11/8. The common factor is 1 in 1/4 and 1 in 11/8. 1÷1/4÷1= 1/4. 11÷1/8÷1 = 11/8.

1/4÷ 11/8 =2/11.

The formula for the slope is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{20-10}{2-1}$

$m=\frac{10}{1}$

$m=10$

Hope this helps.

Please help me out and explain it to me

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by first multiplying both sides of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator.

In this case, the conjugate is (8 - 2i).

So:

$\frac{3-5i}{8+2i} *\frac{8-2i}{8-2i}$

Simplify:

$\frac{24-46i+10i^2}{64 - 4i^2}$

Simplify again, knowing that i^2 = -1

$\frac{14 -46i}{68}$

Then, divide both numbers in the numerator by 68 to get your answer.

$\frac{7}{34} -\frac{23i}{34}$

The area of a triangular block is 49 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and t

andrezito [222]

1) Formula: area = height * base / 2

2) Call x the height:

height = x

base = 2x

3) State the equation:

(x)(2x) = 49 in^2

4) Solve the equation:

2x^2 = 49 in^s

x^2 = (49/2) in^2

x = √(49/2) in

x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in

5) Solution:

height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in

6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2

Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.
