Say the base length is 8, and the height is 8. If you multiply it by 1/4, the new base length is 2. The formula for the area of a triangle is: A=1/2bh you take 1/2 of 2, which is 1, and you multiply by the height (8) to get 8 square units for the area. This is opposed to if you simply did the formula without multiplying by 1/4. If you avoided multiplying by 1/4, you would get A=(4)(8), which would get you 32 square inches for the area. So, in conclusion, multiplying the base by 1/4, gets you 1/4 the area.

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?

Lerok [7]

To eliminate the fraction, we multiply by 4

<h3>How to eliminate the fractions?</h3>

The equation is given as:

-3/4m-1/2=2+1/4m

Rewrite properly as:

$-\frac{3}{4}m - \frac 12 = 2 + \frac 14m$

The denominators of the above fractions are 2 and 4

The LCM of 2 and 4 is 4

So, we multiply through by 4.

This gives

-3m - 2 = 8 + m

Hence, to eliminate the fraction, we multiply by 4

What is a / b (2x - 12) = c / d ; x ?

Alex17521 [72]

we are given

$\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{c}{d}$

we can solve for x

We can isolate x

step-1: Multiply both sides by b/a

$\frac{b}{a}*\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{b}{a}*\frac{c}{d}$

$(2x-12)=\frac{bc}{ad}$

step-2:Add 12 both sides

$(2x-12)+12=\frac{bc}{ad}+12$

$2x=\frac{bc}{ad}+12$

step-3: combine right side

$2x=\frac{bc+12ad}{ad}$

step-4:Divide both sides by 2

$x=\frac{bc+12ad}{2ad}$ ..............Answer
