Answer:
answer a
Step-by-step explanation:
< 
- Let's isolate
on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.
- Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating , but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.
< 
- On a number line, this would include every number <em>less than </em>, due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number <em>greater than </em>. But, how do we decide between answers a and c?
- If a line has point at its beginning, , then that means that every number <em>less than or equal to</em> [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says <em>less than </em>[ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.
In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
- Points J, K, and Q are collinear
- There is only one line that can be drawn through points L and P
It should take 2.2 hours, since 5.5 / 2.5 = 2.2.
