How do you simplify a complex fraction

1 answer:

6 0

A compound fraction is simplified by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction. This process is repeated as often as necessary at every level of the fraction.

Examples:
(a/b)/(c/d) = (ad)/(bc)
a/(b/c) = (ac)/b
(a/b)/c = a/(bc)

_____
When the fraction has numerators or denominators that are fractions, you need to be very clear about what is being divided by what. If it isn't clear by the typesetting (length or boldness of fraction bars), then parentheses are required around numerators and around denominators.

Answer:

If you are trying to solve the inequality for "x" Then your answer is, "x>9/5" That is the inequality form. If you are looking for the interval notation form then your answer is "9/5, infinity"

Step-by-step explanation:

I have checked my answers against an online Algebra solver. So my answers are 100% correct.

I need answers for them three

sergeinik [125]

These are the answers. You subtract 6 from -3 giving you n≥-9. Since n/3 is a fraction, in order to undo it we must multiply it to the other side, giving us n≤-63.

1. n≥-9
3. n≤-63

I hope it helped!

Find the limit , picture provided

V125BC [204]

Answer:

d. does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

The given limits are;

$\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) =5$ , $\lim_{x \to 4} g(x) =0$ and $\lim_{x \to 4} h(x) =-2$

We want to find

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

By the properties of limits, we have;

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)}{\lim_{x \to 4} g(x)}$

This gives us;

$\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{f}{g}(x)= \frac{5}{0}$

Division by zero is not possible. Therefore the limit does not exist.

A customer bought 7.5 pounds of apples from a local produce market. How many ounces of apples did the customer buy?

jeka94

Now if we have 7.5 pounds of apples first we need to convert 1 pound into ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces.

Now we know how many ounces are in one pound. So lets take the 16 ounces for 1 pound and multiply by the 7 full pounds of apples. This excluding the 1/2 pound of apples.

7 x 16 = 112
(7 being the weight in pounds of the apples, 16 being 16 ounces in one pound, and 112 is how any ounces are in 7 pounds of apples.)

So now we have the amount of ounces in 7 pounds of apples.
But we are not done. We still have the 1/2 pound of apples. So we take 16 being 1 pound of apples and divide it by 2.

16 divided by 2 = 8

That 1/2 pound of apples = 8 ounces.

So now we have our 7 pounds of apples in ounces (112) and our 1/2 pound of apples in ounces (8)

So we add these back up in ounces

112 + 8 = 120.

So now we can conclude:

7.5 pounds of apples is 120 ounces

Hope this helps!
