To simplify any fraction, look for a common factor in the top number
and the bottom number.  If you find one, divide the top and bottom
both by their common factor.  Eventually, you reach the point where
their only common factor is ' 1 ' ... that's when it's in simplest form.

4  and  10  both have  2  as a factor. 

When you divide top and bottom both by  2,  you have  2/5 .
This is the simplest form of  4/10 .

None of this has anything to do with mayflies.  You can use the same
process to simplify fractions in ANY situation where fractions arise.

Solve for x. x+4/2x+2=4/x+1
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

First, cross multiply.

(x+4)(x+1)=4(2x+2)

x^2+5x+14=8x+8

x^2-3x-4=0

(x+1)(x-4)=0

x+1=0   x-4=0

x = -1, x=4

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line to help find the answer.<br> 7
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

C.) -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions, we need to have common denominators. So first, we will change -1 1/5 to -6/5.

Now we will change the denominator of both -6/5 and 1/2 to 10.

We now have:

5/10 and -12/10

5-12=-7

So the answer would be -7/5

If we want to use the number line, we would first find 5/10 (1/2) on the graph and count down (to simulate subtraction) 12 units since we are subtracting by 12. :))

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $24,000. It costs $100 to prod canoes produced and sold.) a. Write
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. C(x) = 24,000 + 100x

b. R(x) = 200x

c. Break-even point is 240 canoes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Cost function is C(x) = FC + pcost * x

C(x) = 24,000 + 100x

Where  

FC=Fixed cost  = 24,000

pcost=costs  to prod canoes = $100

x=produce quantity

b.Revenue function

R(x) = Px * x

R(x) = 200x

Where  

Px=Price

x=produce quantity

c. Break-even point is the amount of canoes where revenue are the same as cost.  We cover the total cost with the sales.

So,  FC + pcost * x=Px * x

24,000 + 100x=200x

Isolating x

24,000 =200x- 100x

100x=24000

x=24,000/100

x=240

If an hour is 45 years how long is a minute
Ainat [17]
Since one hour = 45 years, one minute should be 1/60th of 45 years because 60 minutes = an hour.

45/60 = 3/4

So one minute would be 3/4 of an hour, or 45 minutes.

Hope this helps!
